Abstract excerpt
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome involving adipose, muscle, and body weight loss in cancer patients. Tumor loss-of-function mutations in STK11/LKB1, a regulator of AMP-activated protein kinase, induce cancer cachexia (CC) in preclinical models and are linked to weight loss in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study examines the role of the integrated stress response (ISR) cytokine growth...
