It was a privilege to appear on @RRR to talk about our research and discuss what patients should know about cancer cachexia - a metabolic wasting disease affecting cancer patient outcomes. Grateful to our consumer Sudhir Sakhuja and my clinical collaborator @HyunKoMD.
Peter Mac Cancer Centre@PeterMacCC

"Cancer cachexia" affects 30% of cancer patients - 80% for advanced cancers - and yet few have heard of the term. Assoc Prof Louise Cheng (@LabFly), @HyunKoMD and cancer survivor Sudhir, have explained this muscle wasting condition to @3RRRFM. Listen: rrr.org.au/shared/broadca…

As the Drosophila OL shares a similar mode of division with mammalian neurogenesis, understanding when and how these progenitors cease proliferation during development can have important implications for mammalian brain size determination and regulation of its overall function.

As muscle ECM proteins are mostly fat body-derived, the retention of ECM proteins in the fat body causes a reduction in muscle ECM, which results in muscle detachment during cancer cachexia.
