OverviewAI-generated summary
Stavroula Tsitkanou's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of muscle wasting and functional decline in various disease models. Her work has investigated the role of mitochondrial stress in cancer cachexia, demonstrating that muscle weakness can precede atrophy. Tsitkanou has explored how exercise can counteract these deleterious effects and has examined sex-based differences in muscle quality during cachexia onset.
Her research also extends to neurodegenerative diseases, specifically studying the impact of microRNA suppression on functional decline in mouse models of TDP-43 proteinopathy, a condition relevant to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Tsitkanou has utilized proteomic analysis to identify cellular stress and metabolic dysregulation in brain tissue associated with TDP-43 proteinopathy. Her publications also address the protective effects of promoting mitochondrial fusion and the impact of biological sex on transcriptomic profiles during muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb unloading.
