Open DOI
Plasma Proteomic Signatures Predict Incident Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Prospective Study Stratified by C9orf72 Expansion
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and fatal neurological disorder for which reliable preclinical biomarkers to predict disease onset are currently lacking. Plasma proteomics offers a promising avenue for ea...

Integrated Single‐Myofibre Multi‐Omics Correlates Inflammatory State to Myosin Energetics in ICU‐Acquired Weakness
Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy is a pervasive complication of critical illness that worsens survival and recovery, yet remains poorly explained by current clinical or molecular markers. Methods: To directly connect disease‐associate...

Aberrant Myelopoiesis and Haematopoietic Stem Cell Niche Remodelling Precedes Cancer Cachexia Onset in a Sex‐Dependent Manner
Background: Male cancer patients are 30% more likely to develop cachexia compared to females; however, the underlying aetiology remains unknown. Myelopoiesis induces inflammation in cancer cachexia, which contributes to muscle atrophy. W...

Age‐ and Sex‐Specific Percentile Curves for the FM/FFM Ratio Using Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
Background: Sarcopenic obesity is associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality, particularly in older adults. Common measures of sarcopenic obesity consider obesity and sarcopenia independently, despite their potenti...

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Perioperative Muscle Wasting Following Major Abdominal Surgery
Background: Muscle wasting in the perioperative period is a frequent and clinically significant complication following major abdominal surgery and is associated with adverse outcomes, including increased postoperative complications, prol...

Chemotherapy‐Induced Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction and Cognitive Impairment: A Muscle‐Brain Mechanistic Framework With Implications for Exercise Oncology
Chemotherapy commonly induces skeletal muscle dysfunction and cognitive impairment, complications that reduce treatment tolerance and quality of life. Skeletal muscle mass frequently declines during chemotherapy, with cohort studies repo...

Dual‐Tasking Exacerbates Force and Neural Control Unsteadiness in Older Adults With Sarcopenia
Background: Sarcopenia is associated with impaired physical function. Dual‐task conditions, which increase cognitive demand during motor performance, may reveal deficits in neuromuscular control that are not evident during isolated motor...

Physical Performance Moderates the Association Between Age and Executive Function in Older Adults at Elevated Risk of Dementia: Cross‐Sectional Analysis From the CITA GO‐ON Trial
Background: Preservation of executive function is vital for independence and dementia prevention, yet the physical performance levels at which age‐related executive vulnerability becomes detectable remain uncertain. This study examined w...

Surface Electromyographic Characteristics of Lower Limb Muscles in Frail Older Adults With Cardiovascular Disease: A Case–Control Study
Background: Frailty predicts poor outcomes in older adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is closely related to neuromuscular dysfunction. Lower limb surface electromyography (sEMG) during walking may capture frailty‐related motor...

A 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Regimen Ameliorates High‐Fat Diet‐Induced MASLD‐Associated Skeletal Muscle Impairment in Mice
Background: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent chronic liver disorder worldwide. Its pathogenesis is closely linked to high‐fat diets (HFDs) and is frequently accompanied by decreased s...
