Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruqaiza Muhyudin's research focuses on understanding and mitigating cancer cachexia, a complex wasting syndrome characterized by muscle loss and metabolic dysfunction. Her work investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying cachexia across different biological sexes and preclinical models. Muhyudin has published research exploring the role of mitochondrial function, mitophagy, and mitochondrial fusion in preserving muscle mass and contractility in tumor-bearing mice. Additionally, her publications examine the impact of exercise interventions on cachexia progression and explore potential biomarkers for the condition. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Nicholas P. Greene, Tyrone A. Washington, Ana Regina Cabrera, and Eleanor R. Schrems, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Muhyudin's research also touches upon weight restoration strategies following simulated anorexia nervosa.
