Scope and Contents

Contents

Metastatic cancer patients experience a severe loss of skeletal muscle
mass and function known as cachexia. Cachexia is associated with poor prognosis
and accelerated death in cancer patients, yet its underlying mechanisms remain
poorly understood. Here, we identify the metal transporter ZIP14 as a critical
mediator of cancer-induced ca...
