Blood-Brain Barrier-Penetrating Nanocarriers Enable Microglial-Specific Drug Delivery in Hypothalamic Neuroinflammation.

Hypothalamic inflammation plays a pivotal role in appetite dysregulation across various pathological conditions, including cancer cachexia. However, delivering anti-inflammatory agents to microglia, key mediators of hypothalamic inflammation, remains challenging due to the unsurmountable blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome this challenge,...

Nuciferine Attenuates Cancer Cachexia-Induced Muscle Wasting in Mice via HSP90AA1.

Around 80% of patients with advanced cancer have cancer cachexia (CC), a serious complication for which there are currently no FDA-approved treatments. Nuciferine (NF) is the main active ingredient of lotus leaf, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and other effects. The...

Body Composition Assessment Provides Prognostic Information in Patients With Cancer Affected by Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease.

Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high-risk cancer population with mortality risk explained by cGVHD severity, but also...

Prevalence and Prognostic Value of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) Phenotypic Cachexia Criteria in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria provide a framework for evaluating cachexia in cancer patients, yet variability in diagnostic application hinders its use. The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence and prognostic value of...

Physical training reduces cell senescence and associated insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

Cellular senescence (CS) is a key aging process that leads to irreversible cell cycle arrest and an altered secretory phenotype. In skeletal muscle (SkM), the accumulation of senescent cells contributes to sarcopenia. Despite exercise being a known intervention for maintaining...

Nanoparticle-Driven Skeletal Muscle Repair and Regeneration Through Macrophage-Muscle Stem Cell Interaction.

Macrophages are key innate immune cells in the muscle environment of sarcopenia patients, significantly influencing muscle stem cell (MuSC) proliferation and differentiation. However, prolonged activation of macrophages can hinder muscle recovery. In this study, it synthesizes lipoic acid-modified gold nanoparticles...

Temporalis muscle thickness correlates with premorbid frailty in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest.

Frailty is associated with mortality and functional outcome after cardiac arrest. Temporalis muscle thickness (TMT) is a measure of sarcopenia, which represents one dimension of frailty. We assessed the correlation between TMT, measured on head computed tomography (CT), and Clinical...

Causal relationships of circulating amino acids with sarcopenia-related traits: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Recent studies have indicated a correlation between certain Amino acids (AAs) and sarcopenia. However, the exact causal relationship among these associations is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the causal relationships between 20 types of AAs and the phenotypic...

Paradoxical Effect of Myosteatosis on the Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Response in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has shifted from tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy, improving outcomes but with variable individual responses. This study investigated the prognostic implications of pretreatment low skeletal muscle mass...
