Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cachexia and Sarcopenia Research:
The journal primarily investigates cachexia and sarcopenia, exploring their underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and the impact on patient outcomes, particularly in cancer and chronic diseases. - Muscle Health and Functionality:
Research on maintaining and improving muscle health, including studies on muscle regeneration, strength, and the effects of various interventions such as exercise, nutrition, and pharmacotherapy. - Biomarkers and Diagnostic Tools:
Investigation of biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring sarcopenia and cachexia, as well as the development of innovative diagnostic tools utilizing imaging and molecular techniques. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Emphasizes the integration of various disciplines such as nutrition, exercise science, geriatric medicine, and oncology to address the complexities of muscle health in different populations. - Public Health and Policy Implications:
Exploration of the public health implications of muscle wasting conditions and the formulation of guidelines for clinical practice and policy-making aimed at improving muscle health in the aging population.
Trending and Emerging
- Interplay of Inflammation and Muscle Health:
Recent studies increasingly focus on the role of inflammation in muscle atrophy and cachexia, highlighting the need to understand inflammatory pathways and their impact on muscle metabolism. - Nutritional Interventions and Muscle Preservation:
There is a growing emphasis on the role of nutrition in preventing and treating sarcopenia and cachexia, with research exploring specific dietary components and supplementation strategies. - Multimodal Interventions:
Research is trending towards multimodal approaches that combine exercise, nutritional support, and pharmacological interventions to optimize muscle health and combat muscle wasting. - Technological Advances in Assessment and Monitoring:
Emerging technologies, including machine learning and advanced imaging techniques, are increasingly being utilized for the assessment of muscle health, enhancing the precision of diagnostics and monitoring. - Psychosocial Factors and Muscle Health:
An emerging theme is the exploration of psychosocial factors, including mental health and social support, and their effects on muscle health outcomes, particularly in older adults.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Science of Muscle Physiology:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely basic science studies focusing on muscle physiology without direct clinical applications, as the journal shifts towards more translational and clinical research. - Animal Models of Cachexia and Sarcopenia:
Research using animal models, while still present, is less frequently highlighted compared to clinical studies involving human populations, indicating a potential decline in the relevance of animal models in the current discourse. - Single-Intervention Studies:
Studies focusing on single interventions (e.g., exercise alone) without considering multi-faceted approaches (nutrition, pharmacotherapy, etc.) are becoming less common, as the field increasingly recognizes the complexity of treating muscle wasting. - Epidemiological Studies with Limited Clinical Relevance:
There is a decreasing trend in purely epidemiological studies that do not connect findings to clinical practice or patient outcomes, as the journal prioritizes research with direct implications for treatment and management.
