The invention provides markers indicative of pre-cachexia, compositions and methods for identifying patients with a molecular signature indicative of pre-cachexia; a culture system that reproduces the cachetic process in cells in vitro, which facilitates the screening and identification of therapeutic agents useful for disrupting (slowing, reducing, reversing, or preventing) the progression of pre-cachexia to refractory cachexia; as well as therapeutic agents identified using the culture system of the invention.
本发明提供了表明恶病质前期的标记物、用于鉴定具有表明恶病质前期的分子特征的患者的组合物和方法;在体外再现细胞中的恶病质过程的培养系统,该系统有利于筛选和鉴定用于破坏(减缓、减少、逆转或预防)恶病质前期向难治性恶病质进展的治疗剂;以及使用本发明培养系统鉴定的治疗剂。
