Longitudinal Assessment of Muscle Involvement in Late-Onset Pompe Disease Using Quantitative MRI: A Prospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND

Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is a progressive metabolic myopathy characterised by lysosomal glycogen accumulation and leading to secondary disruptions in autophagy and cellular energy metabolism. While enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has improved outcomes, early detection remains critical, because irreversible muscle...

The Gut-Muscle Axis in Sarcopenia: Mechanisms, Evidence Gaps and Translational Challenges.

Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder characterized by reduced muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, as well as increased risk of disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota alterations may contribute to muscle decline via a...

Ageing-Associated Dysregulation of Myogenic Differentiation in Inclusion Body Myositis.

Skeletal muscle is a postmitotic tissue dependent on a complex and tightly regulated regeneration process involving numerous intracellular and extracellular factors, including myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), cytokines and myokines. Quiescent satellite cells are activated by physiological stimuli, injury or other...

The Role of New Agents and Supportive Care in a Multimodal Approach to Cancer Cachexia.

Given the multi-faceted nature of cancer cachexia, a combination of pharmacologic and supportive measures such as exercise and nutrition seems intuitive to most clinicians. Clinical trials have also suggested that a multimodal approach to cancer cachexia (CC) is feasible and...

Multi-modal integrated intervention combining exercise, anti-inflammatory, and dietary advice (MMIEAD) for adults with kidney cachexia: protocol for a mixed-methods feasibility cluster randomised controlled trial and process evaluation.

BACKGROUND

Kidney cachexia is a debilitating and under-recognised complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterised by unintentional weight loss, muscle wasting, inflammation, and reduced functional capacity. Its profound impact on morbidity, quality of life, and healthcare utilisation underscores the need...

Multi-omics profiling of cachexia-targeted tissues reveals a spatio-temporally coordinated response to cancer.

Cachexia is a wasting disorder associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Tumour-host interaction and maladaptive metabolic reprogramming are substantial, yet poorly understood, contributors to cachexia. Here we present a comprehensive overview of the spatio-temporal metabolic reprogramming...

Air pollution exacerbates cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome and sarcopenia comorbidity via shared genetic-epigenetic mechanisms: A multi-omics and Mendelian Randomization study.

BACKGROUND

Ambient air pollution aggravates cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disorders and sarcopenia, yet the shared genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that underlie their frequent co-occurrence remain poorly understood.

METHODS

We integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for CKM components (cardiovascular disease [CVD], chronic kidney disease [CKD],...

Chinese leek-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate sarcopenia by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy via AMPK and maintaining myosin homeostasis.

Sarcopenia, a prevalent age-related degenerative disorder, poses significant challenges in geriatric care. Chinese leek demonstrates therapeutic potential against sarcopenia progression, with emerging evidence suggesting its extracellular vesicles (EVs) may mediate these effects. Notably, plant-derived EVs have garnered increasing attention due...

Symphony of regulated cell death: Unveiling therapeutic horizons in sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is a progressive musculoskeletal condition associated with aging, marked by a decline in muscle mass, strength, and performance. This condition not only compromises functional independence in older individuals but also contributes to escalating healthcare and economic burdens. Although the...
