Distinct Myogenic Stages Recapitulate Transcriptomic Networks of Skeletal Muscle in COPD Cachexia

Hanna Sothers, Bitota K Lukusa-Sawalena, Kaleen M. Lavin…·Merry‐Lynn McDonald

The paper identifies transcriptomic signatures of COPD and COPD-cachexia in skeletal muscle and shows they are preserved across differentiation stages in human muscle-derived cultures.
