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.
