Skeletal muscle contributes 20-50% to body mass. In some cases, skeletal muscle is lost at a high rate (ICU-acquired muscle weakness, cancer cachexia) and in others at a low rate (sarcopenia). The aim of this symposium is to introduce different forms of atrophy and to discuss consequences and treatments. Keynote speaker is Prof. Dr. Stuart Philipps, McMaster University (H-index 136). He is a global leader in investigating human skeletal muscle with stable isotope-labelled tracer methods.
