The project investigates extracellular vesicles as mechanisms linking cancer, obesity, and skeletal muscle dysfunction, and explores whether exercise can improve muscle health and quality of life in cancer survivors.
Description
Research project examining how extracellular-vesicle communication among tumors, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle contributes to cancer cachexia with obesity, and whether exercise can modulate EV signaling to improve skeletal muscle health.
