Patients with COPD are often affected by sarcopenia, but the underlying mechanisms for the development are poorly understood. New research looks into the causes and potential therapies.
New Study Uses Unique Approach to Gain Insight into Sarcopenia and Liver Disease
Using a multifaceted approach, Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered molecular pathways that illuminate hyperammonemia’s role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, laying the groundwork for future therapies.
Deciphering Sarcopenia
A clinical hepatologist’s quest for answers about muscle-wasting in cirrhosis led to a change in career path and major discoveries as a renowned sarcopenia researcher.
Noninvasive Assessment of Sarcopenia May Predict Tolerance to Neo(adjuvant) Chemotherapy in Early-Stage Breast Cancer
A new study of patients with early breast cancer suggests that the noninvasive assessment of sarcopenia using bioelectrical impedance analysis can help predict toxicity from adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
