From the authors: “Collectively, we provide evidence that skeletal muscle myosteatosis, altered [lipid droplet (LD)] morphology, and decreased LD-mitochondrial interactions occur in a preclinical model of cancer cachexia.”

This study is highlighted as one of September’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society's  program.
