The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) has awarded a $383,570 Project Grant (CFDA 93.846 - Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research) to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis. The grant, titled "Delineating the Contribution of Muscle Wasting to Tumor Progression," aims to better understand the relationship between skeletal muscle wasting and tumor progression in cancer patients. The research will 1) detail tumor progression in the presence and absence of muscle wasting, and 2) interrogate the skeletal muscle secretome to understand the effects of muscle breakdown on tumor dynamics. This work is expected to provide innovative insights into the complex interplay between tumors and host tissues like skeletal muscle, with the goal of informing more holistic therapeutic approaches for cancer patients. The award period runs from September 2023 through August 2025.
