Pancreatic Cancer Induces Population-Specific Switching of Myosin Isoforms and Discrete Activation of Cachexia Genes in Skeletal Muscle Myocytes

Brittany R. Counts, Sephora Jean, Omnia U. Gaafer…·Teresa A. Zimmers

This study identifies population-specific transcriptional changes in skeletal muscle myonuclei during pancreatic cancer cachexia, revealing distinct gene activation patterns rather than uniform upregulation of cachexia mediators.
