Our strategy: Many athletic performances are critically dependent on metabolic function, and physical training is effective in preventing and treating metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. The Exercise Biology group at the TU Munich therefore aims to investigate topics related to sports and metabolism often with disease relevance. We often use state-of-the-art methods of metabolic research such as arteriovenous metabolomics analyses and metabolic flux analyses as well as methods of molecular sports physiology. Our main goal with this strategy is to mechanistically answer important unanswered questions in the field. We want to discover new phenomena that help athletes optimize their performance, help patients recover, and ultimately help all people who want to stay fit and healthy for a long time.
The Munich Muscle Meeting is a consortium of Munich muscle research groups. Our aim is to bring together different muscle research groups to organise regular meetings and discuss current topics in muscle science. Furthermore, we want to initialise collaborative projects.

We are very happy to present you our latest publication in STEM CELLS this year, dealing with common and distinctive functions of the Hippo effectors Taz and Yap in skeletal muscle stem cell. The Hippo pathway downstream effectors Yap and Taz play key roles in cell proliferation and regeneration,…

Exercise triggers adaptations because exercise-associated signals trigger molecular events that change cells. A major goal of the Exercise Biology team (Prof. Henning Wackerhage, Dr. Martin Schönfelder) at the TU of Munich is to discover new mechanisms of adaptation that are relevant to performance…
