Lonafarnib Protects Against Muscle Atrophy Induced by Dexamethasone.

Muscle atrophy, including glucocorticoid-induced muscle wasting from treatments such as dexamethasone (DEX), results in significant reductions in muscle mass, strength and function. This study investigates the potential of lonafarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, to counteract DEX-induced muscle atrophy by targeting key...

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide ameliorates skeletal muscle aging and mitochondrial dysfunction via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Sarcopenia is currently a life-threatening disease for the elderly. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) has anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of PSP on skeletal muscle aging, myoblast differentiation and mitochondrial dysfunction through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway has not been...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...

Feature Engineering for the Prediction of Scoliosis in 5q-Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

5q-Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is now one of the 5% treatable rare diseases worldwide. As disease-modifying therapies alter disease progression and patient phenotypes, paediatricians and consulting disciplines face new unknowns in their treatment decisions. Conclusions made from historical patient data...

Melatonin ameliorates age-related sarcopenia by inhibiting fibrogenic conversion of satellite cell.

The fibrogenic conversion of satellite cells contributes to the atrophy and fibrosis of skeletal muscle, playing a significant role in the pathogenesis of age-related sarcopenia. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, exhibits anti-aging and anti-fibrotic effects in various...

Longitudinal Body Composition Identifies Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Cachexia Following Combined Immunotherapy and Target Therapy (CHANCE2213).

Cancer cachexia can impact prognosis, cause resistance to anticancer treatments and affect the tolerability of treatments. This study aims to identify hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cachexia by characterizing longitudinal body composition (BC) trajectories. This longitudinal, multicentre cohort study included unresectable...
