New DFG research group investigates the connection between muscle building and metabolic health

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the new research group "HyperMet: Effects of Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy on Metabolic Health," which involves researchers from Technische Universität Braunschweig, Technische Universität Munich (leading institution), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and Helmholtz Munich. The Braunschweig researchers, receiving around 560,000 euros, contribute their expertise in metabolic flux analysis to study the effects of muscle growth and loss on metabolism. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms that positively impact health and help prevent metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

Profiling and anti-inflammatory molecules: TU Braunschweig provides important building blocks for research

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has accepted the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1454 “Metaflammation and Cellular Programming” into the second funding period. The research network investigates how the Western lifestyle is linked to chronic inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration and metabolic syndrome. The Department of Biochemistry and Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Braunschweig is contributing to research into immunometabolism in two projects and uses mass spectrometry to analyze metabolic processes. One focus is on deciphering mechanisms that promote chronic inflammation and developing new therapeutic approaches.
