Abstract

Sarcopenia is a common disease in older people due to aging, and it can also occur in midlife because of diseases including cancer. Sarcopenia, characterized by rapid loss of muscle mass and accelerated loss of function, can lead to adverse outcomes such as frailty, falls, and even mortality. The development of pharmacological and therapeutic approaches to treat sarcopenia remains challenging. The growth status and quantity of myoblasts are the key factors directly affecting muscle formation. Therefore, enhancing the function of myoblasts is crucial for the treatment of sarcopenia. In our study, we introduced an insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) mimicking supramolecular nanofibers/hydrogel formed by Nap-FFGSSSR that effectively promoted proliferation and significantly reduced dexamethasone-induced apoptosis of myoblasts, assisted myoblasts to differentiate into myotubes, and prevented the fibrosis of muscle tissue and the deposition of collagen, ultimately achieving outstanding effects in the treatment of sarcopenia. The RNA-sequencing results revealed that our nanofibers possessed similar bioactivity to the growth factor IGF-1, which increased the phosphorylation of Akt by activating the insulin signaling pathway. We prepar...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
