OverviewAI-generated summary

Megan E. Rosa‐Caldwell investigates the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying muscle atrophy, particularly in the context of cancer cachexia and disuse. Her research examines sex-based differences in these processes, exploring how hormonal and signaling pathways may lead to varied responses between male and female mice and rats. Recent work has focused on the temporal development of cancer cachexia, identifying distinct transcriptional disruptions in female skeletal muscle and noting that muscle weakness can precede observable atrophy in this condition.

Her work also extends to understanding muscle health in individuals with anorexia nervosa, as indicated by a systematic review she co-authored. Rosa‐Caldwell's research employs various animal models, including tumor-bearing mice and hindlimb-suspended rats, to dissect the cellular and mitochondrial alterations associated with these conditions. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 21 and over 1,400 citations across 103 publications, designating her as a highly cited researcher. She collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Tyrone A. Washington, Eleanor R. Schrems, Nicholas P. Greene, and Francielly Morena da Silva.
