Research summary
AI-generated

Andrea Bonetto studies cancer cachexia, the severe muscle and body-weight loss that often accompanies cancer and its treatments. The work combines laboratory models (in mice and cells) with patient studies to understand how tumors and chemotherapy damage skeletal muscle and bone, and to test potential ways to prevent or slow this deterioration. Recent projects focus on cachexia in ovarian and head-and-neck cancers and on exercise and drug-based interventions.

Publication activity peaked around 2019–2022 and has been lower but steady in the years since, averaging about seven papers per year over the last five years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
