Body composition derangements in lung cancer patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab: A multicentre observational study.

While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly reshaping the therapeutic landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a limited proportion of patients achieve a relevant and long-lasting benefit with these treatments, calling for the identification of clinical and, ideally modifiable,...

Durable Muscle Extracellular Matrix Engineered with Adhesive Phenolic Moieties for Effective Skeletal Muscle Regeneration in Muscle Atrophy.

Muscle atrophy detrimentally impacts health and exacerbates physical disability, leading to increased mortality. In particular, sarcopenia, aging-related degenerative muscle loss, necessitates urgent remedies. Current approaches for treating muscle atrophy include exercise and nutrition, while drug exploration remains in its early...

Impact of Cachexia and First-Line Systemic Therapy for Previously Untreated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: NEJ050A.

Cancer cachexia complicates advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, it remains unclear how often cachexia occurs and how it affects the course of chemotherapy in patients receiving first-line systemic therapy. We conducted a multicentre, prospective observational study and enrolled...

Sarcopenic obesity in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during radiotherapy.

The impact of computed tomography-defined sarcopenia on outcomes in head and neck cancer has been well described. Sarcopenic obesity (SO) (depleted muscle mass combined with obesity) may pose a more serious risk than either condition alone. We investigated SO and...

Roles of programmed death-1 and muscle innate lymphoid cell-derived interleukin 13 in sepsis-induced intensive care unit-acquired weakness.

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a syndrome characterized by a long-term muscle weakness often observed in sepsis-surviving patients during the chronic phase. Although ICU-AW is independently associated with increased mortality, effective therapies have yet to be established. Programmed death-1...

KLF13 restrains Dll4-muscular Notch2 axis to improve the muscle atrophy.

Muscle atrophy can cause muscle dysfunction and weakness. Krüppel-like factor 13 (KLF13), a central regulator of cellular energy metabolism, is highly expressed in skeletal muscles and implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases. This study investigated the role of KLF13...

Low skeletal muscle mass and treatment outcomes among adults with haematologic malignancies: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) and/or, function associated with an increased risk of treatment-related toxicities and inferior overall survival (OS) among adults with solid malignancies. However, the association between LSMM and treatment-related toxicities among adults with haematologic malignancies remains unclear....

Co-morbid sarcopenia and low bone mineral density in young paediatric cancer survivors.

Sarcopenia and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are prevalent musculoskeletal complications after paediatric cancer treatment. However, their relationship has not been examined in young paediatric cancers survivors. This study aimed to evaluate aBMD differences according to sarcopenia status and...

Leptin signalling altered in infantile nephropathic cystinosis-related bone disorder.

The CTNS gene mutation causes infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC). Patients with INC develop Fanconi syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with significant bone deformations. C57BL/6 Ctns mice are an animal model for studying INC. Hyperleptinaemia results from the kidney's inability...
