Local Inflammation Precedes Diaphragm Wasting and Fibrotic Remodelling in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer.

Cancer cachexia represents a debilitating muscle wasting condition that is highly prevalent in gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Cachexia is estimated to contribute to ~30% of cancer-related deaths, with deterioration of respiratory muscles suspected to be a key...

Sheer drop ahead: reviewing sarcopenia outcomes in elderly patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

The global prevalence of obesity among elderly patients continues to rise. Despite the availability of new antiobesity medications, bariatric surgery remains an effective treatment option for carefully selected candidates. However, it is not risk-free, especially in a vulnerable population, predisposing...

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes in Skeletal Muscle and Impacts of Inย Vitro Versus Inย Vivo Infection.

COVID-19 has been associated with both respiratory (diaphragm) and non-respiratory (limb) muscle atrophy. It is unclear if SARS-CoV-2 infection of skeletal muscle plays a role in these changes. This study sought to: 1) determine if cells comprising skeletal muscle tissue,...
