We’ve recently replaced Rapid PREreviews with Structured PREreviews.
You can write a Structured PREreview now.
We’ll be updating older Rapid PREreviews like these soon.

This paper shows how cancer is affecting insulin-dependent glucose transport in oxidative and glycolytic muscles (in-vitro assay for glucose transport). The findings are interesting and show that cancer is causing dysfunctional insulin signaling in a fiber type-specific manner i.e., specifically …
This paper shows how cancer leads to different metabolic alterations in different skeletal muscles based on the oxidative or glycolytic nature of the muscle types. While induction of cancer caused insulin resistance and altered glucose uptake in the oxidative soleus muscle, the glycolytic EDS …
This manuscript provided some new insights into cancer targets from a metabolic view that skeletal muscle could be a target. The methods and ideas are very smooth, and the data are convincing.
