Our colleagues at TU Braunschweig will offer an outstanding lab course on cellular metabolism. This course will take place from the 6th to the 10th of October 2025. Cellular metabolism plays a crucial role in understanding muscle physiology and adaptation. In this practical course, we will cultivate differentiated C2C12 myocytes and investigate the metabolic responses to hypertrophic and atrophic stimuli.
Participants will:
- Induce hypertrophy & atrophy in C2C12 myocytes.
- Extract intracellular metabolites for mass-spectrometric analysis using GC-MS.
- Measure extracellular fluxes with YSI Analyzer
- Perform stable-isotope-assisted metabolic profiling to analyse intracellular metabolic fluxes.
- Measure and evaluate changes in myocyte metabolism.
Further information and contact to register you will find in our flyer.
