abstract = {The preparation of custom-made media offers precise control
over nutrient composition, enabling detailed studies of
cellular metabolism. We demonstrate how self-made media
formulations enable diverse assay designs and readouts to
assess cancer metabolism. Self-made media can be used in
Seahorse assays to measure mitochondrial respiration under
defined conditions. In nutrient deprivation experiments,
amino acid or vitamin removal can uncover how cancer cells
adapt to metabolic stress. Using labeled amino acids enables
analysis of nascent protein synthesis and translational
regulation, while stable-isotope tracing reveals metabolic
fluxes through key pathways. This guide presents a suite of
metabolic assays using custom-made media, covering
experimental design, the selection of controls, sample
preparation, data acquisition, and interpretation. The
accompanying online media calculator 'Media Minds'
streamlines the creation of custom media formulations,
ensuring accuracy and reproducibility.},
