Different Pattern in Circulating MicroRNA-22-3p Levels Between Patients With Primary Versus Secondary Sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia, characterized by decreased skeletal muscle mass and strength, is classified as "primary" (due to aging) or "secondary" (due to diseases). MicroRNA-22-3p (miR-22) regulates muscle differentiation and function. We assessed the diagnostic value of circulating miR-22 levels in patients with...

Transcriptional landscape of skeletal muscle in cancer patients.

Bhatt et al. have identified two RNAome-based skeletal muscle subtypes in cancer cachexia. The first subtype is cachexia associated with weight and muscle loss, fiber atrophy, and shortened survival. Furthermore, this subtype has dysregulated post-transcriptional networks involving hub long noncoding...
