How to use CachexiaDB, what it contains, and where it is heading.

How to Use

1. Search by keyword

Open Search from the navigation bar. Enter a gene symbol, alias, intervention name, or GEO accession, then click Search → or press Enter. Searching is live: results update as you type, and matching is case-insensitive.

2. Try an example

  • IL6 — find the IL6 gene entry.
  • MuRF1 — retrieve TRIM63 through its alias.
  • Ruxolitinib — find the JAK1/2 inhibitor intervention.
  • muscle — retrieve genes and expression datasets.
  • GSE133523 — find a dataset by GEO accession.

3. Combine filters

Use the type dropdown (All types / Genes / Interventions / Datasets) to narrow results, and combine multiple keywords — e.g. muscle atrophy matches records containing both words.

4. Browse and export

The Browse page lists all records by category with A→Z / Z→A sorting. On both pages you can export the currently visible records as a CSV file, and click any record name or Details ↗ to view its full entry.

5. Understand the demo scope

This version searches local demonstration records only and does not query a live database. A zero-result search does not establish that no relevant scientific evidence exists. Demo entries are not validated evidence or medical advice.
