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 utilizes multi-transcriptome analysis to identify global and regulatory networks involved in muscle growth and adaptation, including the role of MYC. Silva has explored sex-based differences in skeletal muscle responses, finding that female mice may exhibit exacerbated catabolic signaling during disuse atrophy and distinct transcriptional disruptions compared to males during cancer cachexia progression. Her research also examines the impact of aging on exercise adaptation and the interplay between circadian rhythms and inflammation in skeletal muscle atrophy. She has published 38 papers, accumulating 368 citations, and holds an h-index of 10. Silva collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Tyrone A. Washington, Ana Regina Cabrera, Eleanor R. Schrems, and Nicholas P. Greene.
