Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Francielly Morena da Silva's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle adaptation and atrophy, with a particular focus on cancer cachexia and disuse atrophy. Her work has explored transcriptional changes in skeletal muscle in response to various stimuli, including acute growth signals, exercise, and aging. She has published studies examining sex-based differences in muscle response to disuse atrophy and cancer cachexia, noting that female mice may exhibit exacerbated catabolic signaling and preserved muscle quality in certain contexts. Further research has delved into the interplay between circadian rhythms and inflammation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Da Silva's scholarship also includes an analysis of the molecular landscape following exercise in humans, identifying MYC as a factor sufficient for muscle growth. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, with 38 total publications and 413 citations. She has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Tyrone A. Washington, Nicholas P. Greene, Ana Regina Cabrera, and Eleanor R. Schrems.
