Indeed, although both healthy WT and cKO animals restored TA weight similarly after injury, the TA mass of WT LLC-bearing animals was reduced by ~10% of controls, whereas in cachectic cKO animals it was decreased ~18% from healthy controls and significantly less that the tumor-bearing WT cohort, suggesting that loss of C/EBPβ further impairs regeneration in cachectic animals (Figure 6b). Here, CEBPB is linked to neoplasm.
