Padua Days on Muscle and Mobility Medicine, March 3-6, 2026: Call for oral presentations.

Abstract

The Padova Muscle Days (PMD), an international congress on skeletal muscle, was founded in 1985 to provide consultancy on Translational Myology. Its goal has always been to translate the results of basic research into clinical trials. Indeed, function and mass of skeletal striated muscle are influenced by and affect central and peripheral neural pathologies, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, metabolic, and endocrine disorders, as well as lifestyle, aging, not to mention cancer. Over the years, PMD has led to innovative multidisciplinary results, so much so that it became natural to emphasize this with a neologism now included in the title of the congress series: "Padua Days on Muscle and Mobility Medicine (Pd3m)". Mobility Medicine is used to bring together knowledge currently dispersed across too many subspecialties. Medium-sized scientific conferences, held in hotels large enough to accommodate all participants, increase opportunities for constructive discussions during breaks and evenings, bringing together young and senior experts in basic sciences and clinical specialties. Extra-sessional discussions offer young scientists good opportunities for new collaborations and job offers. Since its inception, the PMD has offered these opportunities, leading to innovative multidisciplinary results published in high-level scientific journals. We hope that many more speakers will share our dreams and make them come true during the next conference in March 2026.
