Repression of the Wnt pathway effector TCF7L2 reverses lethal cachexia in mice with intestinal cancers
In this valuable study, the authors demonstrate that TCF7L2 plays a role in the pathogenesis of cachexia in a mouse model of GI cancer. The results are solid, although future studies will need further ...
