Mathematical Model of Muscle Wasting in Cancer Cachexia

Mathematical Model of Muscle Wasting in Cancer Cachexia

Cancer cachexia is a debilitating condition characterized by an extreme loss of skeletal muscle mass, which negatively impacts patients’ quality of life, reduces their ability to sustain anti-cancer therapies, and increases the risk of mortality. Recent discoveries have identified the myostatin/acti...
