Our findings suggest that circadian misalignment precedes overt muscle wasting and is closely linked to the onset of metabolic inflexibility.

Excited about what this could mean for understanding early drivers of cachexia and looking forward to sharing more with the scientific community soon!

Had a fantastic time sharing my postdoctoral work with an incredible community of scientists and colleagues at the Myology Institute.

Using the PER2::LUC circadian reporter mouse, we mapped the temporal progression of circadian disruption in the experimental pancreatic KPC model.

The time is now: accounting for time-of-day effects to improve reproducibility and translation of metabolism research - Nature Metabolism This broad group of authors summarizes the impact of circadian factors on metabolic biology and offers recommendations on how to account for and report biological, environmental and experimental facto...

Studying metabolism? Pay attention to time of day Nice collaborative review led by Satchin Panda www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Great first day of the Muscle Biology Meeting! Come chat with me about circadian clocks & muscle atrophy over at poster 101 tomorrow⏰💪🏽

Updated version of our preprint is now live! In addition to our prior data, we conducted a 2ndary analysis of CT-based body comp collected from the National Lung Screening Trial. We found that there are body composition changes prior to cancer diagnosis.

Thank you, Brian!!

Transcriptional Analysis of Cancer Cachexia: Conserved and Unique Features Across Pre-Clinical Models and Biological Sex | American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology Studies suggest heterogeneity in cancer cachexia (CC) among models and biological sexes, yet examinations comparing models and sexes are scarce. We compared the transcriptional landscape of skeletal m...

📝 🚨 @fmorena.bsky.social et al use transcriptional analysis to clarify model-specific cancer cachexia’s complexity. Key finding: Osmr emerges as a universal candidate and the circadian clock genes are impacted. Details 👉 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

It was a pleasure being interviewed by the Women in Cachexia Initiative for their quarterly newsletter spotlight!@cancercachexia.bsky.social

Tremendous initiative with great events, information, and collaboration opportunities. Thank you WCX team!

Cannot wait!

I made a starter pack for those involved in cachexia encompassing every aspect :research, teaching, clinical, caregiver, patient.
