7️⃣ 🧩 Take-home: Muscle fibrosis is not a consequence of tumor presence but a distinct pathological feature of cancer cachexia. Cachexia promotes a profibrotic microenvironment, where immune cells + FAPs contribute to ECM remodeling and worsen muscle dysfunction beyond atrophy.

6️⃣ Gene expression analysis further supports this profibrotic and altered immune microenvironment: ⬆️ TGF-β, HIF-1α, IL-6, Nos2 ⬆️ Collagens (Col1, Col5), Fn1, MMP2 ➡️ Cachectic muscle = active fibrogenic + inflammatory signaling.
