Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicholas P. Greene's research investigates the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness, with a particular focus on conditions such as cancer cachexia and disuse atrophy. His work has explored the role of mitochondrial stress in muscle weakness preceding atrophy in cancer cachexia and has identified molecular signatures associated with exercise adaptation and aging in skeletal muscle. Greene has also examined sex-based differences in the development of disuse atrophy and cancer cachexia, noting potentially exacerbated catabolic signaling in female mice and distinct transcriptional disruptions in female skeletal muscle during cancer cachexia onset.

His federally funded research, supported by a $313,850 grant from the NIH/National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, focuses on developing targeted approaches for the prevention of cancer cachexia. Greene's publication record includes 180 works with an h-index of 29 and over 3,930 citations, reflecting significant contributions to his field. He collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Francielly Morena da Silva, Tyrone A. Washington, Ana Regina Cabrera, and Eleanor R. Schrems, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications.
