- Cachexia is a serious condition seen in various diseases that results in severe muscle and potentially fat loss, which can lead to higher death rates.
- It is driven by several signaling pathways and molecules that increase muscle breakdown while decreasing muscle building and repair.
- Non-coding RNAs, like microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, are crucial in understanding muscle loss in cachexia and have the potential to serve as biomarkers and targets for new treatments.

Article Synopsis
- PCV2 is a tiny virus that causes diseases in pigs and is the smallest DNA virus known.
- Scientists found a way to make virus-like particles (VLPs) using a special protein (Cap) that comes from this virus, which works better when made in silkworms than in bacteria.
- They used a special test to show that these VLPs can help create a vaccine against PCV2, making it a promising and inexpensive option for pig health.
