👥Biography 个人简介
Teresa Zimmers has extensively characterized the role of TGF-beta superfamily ligands including myostatin, activin A, and GDF11 in cancer-associated muscle wasting. Her research demonstrated that tumor-derived activin A causes profound muscle wasting in animal models and has provided mechanistic rationale for ActRII pathway blockade in cachexia. She has contributed to translation of these findings into anti-myostatin and anti-activin clinical trial programs.
