Abstract
The 6th Ottawa International Conference in Neuromuscular Disease and Biology was held on September 7-9, 2023 in Ottawa, Canada. The goal of the conference was to assemble international experts in fundamental science, translational medicine and clinical neuromuscular disease research. Speakers provided attendees with updates on a wide range of topics related to neuromuscular disease and biology, including methods to identify novel diseases, recent developments in muscle, motor neuron and stem cell biology, expanded disease pathogenesis of known diseases, and exciting advances in therapy development. A summary of the major topics and results presented by these speakers is provided.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases aims to facilitate progress in understanding the molecular genetics/correlates, pathogenesis, pharmacology, diagnosis and treatment of acquired and genetic neuromuscular diseases (including muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, neuropathies, myopathies, myotonias and myositis). The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and will consider research that has negative findings. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research in basic science, translational and clinical research that will improve our fundamental understanding and lead to effective treatments of neuromuscular diseases.
