    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…

    By Daniel Dunaief If a team Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Assistant Professor Tobias Janowitz co-leads succeeds, researchers will know more about the end stage of numerous types of cancer that involves the loss of tissue and muscle mass. Tobias Janowitz Recently, lead scientists Janowitz; Eileen White, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey Deputy Director and Chief Scientific Officer; and Dr….

    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,…
