Ever wondered how cancer cells “decide” to spread?

When high-grade breast cancer cells get crowded, they shrink and become more mobile, turning a non-invasive tumour into a threat. Scientists have identified the molecular switch behind the change.

Aging often leads to reduced physical independence, creating a vicious cycle of inactivity, muscle loss, and frailty. Addressing these declines through exercise and nutrition is key to preserving function and quality of life.

Here’s how:

Central role of skeletal muscle ageing in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia

Potential pathways👇
✅insufficient myokine signalling (IL-6, 7, 15)
✅altered immune factors (pro-inflammatory profile)
✅impaired immune cell function
✅altered body composition
