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...

Pathways Contributing to Chemotherapy-Induced Myotoxicity Are Attenuated by EPAโ€‰+โ€‰DHA in a Clinically Relevant Model of Colorectal Cancer.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Skeletal muscle loss is a well-recognized consequence of cancer, and chemotherapy exacerbates myotoxicity through multiple mechanisms. Retaining muscle mass improves tumour response to therapies and tolerance to chemotherapy; hence, interventions to mitigate myotoxicity warrant investigations. This study aimed to investigate...
