Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruqaiza Muhyudin's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cancer cachexia and muscle wasting, investigating how mitochondrial function and quality control pathways contribute to these conditions. Her work explores the impact of interventions such as the mitochondrial antioxidant SkQ1 and the promotion of mitochondrial fusion on muscle health in preclinical models. Muhyudin's publications also examine the transcriptional landscape of cancer cachexia across different biological sexes and the effects of nutritional interventions and exercise on muscle adaptations in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice. She has collaborated with Nicholas P. Greene, Tyrone A. Washington, Ana Regina Cabrera, and Eleanor R. Schrems at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on multiple projects. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 21 total publications and 38 total citations.
