Grant Activity:
Targeting the brain and sympathetic nervous system to improve outcomes in cancer cachexia
Purpose:
Cancer cachexia is the wasting of fat and muscle that occurs in late stages of a number of cancers. It is particularly prevalent in pancreatic cancer. One of the known causes for this wasting is increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), also responsible for the 'fight or flight' response to danger. The SNS is under control of the brain, and this project will look at specific brain cells as therapeutic targets for treating cachexia in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
