Cancer cachexia overrides sex-specific traits in Drosophila
Cancer cachexia, a metabolic syndrome characterized by pathologic weight loss, dramatically limits therapeutic options and reduces survival. While the mechanisms by which tumors induce wasting of distant organs (particularly muscle and adipose tissues) remain incompletely understood, the influence of biological sex on cachexia progression is even less clear. Here we investigated phenotypic and…
