Mashup Score: 0
Abstract. Immune checkpoint inhibition is dramatically improving patient outcomes in diverse cancers, many of which responded poorly to traditional cytotoxic agents. Drivers of heterogeneous response to immune checkpoint therapy are poorly characterized. Cachectic cancer patients exhibit elevated pembrolizumab clearance and poor response, highlighting the immense therapeutic challenge posed by…

Mashup Score: 3Analyzing cachectic phenotypes in the muscle and fat body of Drosophila larvae: STAR Protocols - 2 year(s) ago
Summary Drosophila has become a popular model for examining the metabolic wasting syndrome, cachexia, characterized by degradation of muscles and fat. Here we present a protocol for quick and consistent scoring of muscle detachment, fat body lipid droplet size, and extracellular matrix (ECM) quantifications in Drosophila larvae. We detail the procedures for dissecting,…

Mashup Score: 9
Conditions characterized by muscle wasting such as cachexia and sarcopenia are devastating at the individual level, and they place a profound burden on public health. Evidence suggests that inflammation is likely a mechanistic contributor to the pathogenesis of these conditions. One specific molecule, lipopolysaccharide, has gained attention due to its role in initiating inflammation. Toll-like…

Mashup Score: 0The critical role of STAT3 in biogenesis of tumor-derived exosomes with potency of inducing cancer cachexia in vitro and in vivo - Oncogene - 2 year(s) ago
Tumor-derived exosomes are emerging mediators of cancer cachexia. Clarifying the regulation of exosome biogenesis and finding possible targets for cancer cachexia therapy are important and necessary. In the present study, systemic analysis of the roles of STAT3 in controlling exosome biogenesis of murine C26 colon tumor cells and its contribution to the development of cancer cachexia is…

Mashup Score: 9SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-B.1.1.529 Variant leads to less severe disease than Pango B and Delta variants strains in a mouse model of severe COVID-19 - 2 year(s) ago
COVID-19 is a spectrum of clinical symptoms in humans caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2. The B.1.1.529 Omicron variant is rapidly emerging and has been designated a Variant of Concern (VOC). The variant is highly transmissible and partially or fully evades a spectrum of neutralising antibodies due to a high number of substitutions in the spike glycoprotein. A major question is the relative…
