Grant Activity:
Identification of metabolic alterations in cancer cachexia
Purpose:
Cachexia is a metabolic disease where tumours cause muscle and fat to waste away. We established a Drosophila (fruit fly) model of cachexia-like wasting, opening up a novel opportunity to use its powerful genetic tools to better understand the genetic basis of cachexia-like wasting. This grant proposes to look at how organs can communicate with each other, and our findings will allow us to find potential new avenues for the development of treatment strategies for cachexia.
