Padua Days on Muscle and Mobility Medicine, March 3-6, 2026: Index of Abstracts

The Padova Muscle Days, an international congress on striated skeletal and cardiac muscles, was founded in 1985. Its goal was and continues to be to translate basic research findings into clinically relevant results. Indeed, function and mass of skeletal striated muscle are influenced by and affect central and peripheral neural pathologies, as well as lifestyle, aging, and cancer. Over the years, changing names three times has led to innovative multidisciplinary results, that are now emphasized by a neologism 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. Scientific conferences, held in hotels large enough to accommodate all participants, increase opportunities for discussions during breaks and evenings, bringing together young and senior experts in basic sciences and clinical specialties. This offers young scientists many opportunities for collaborations and jobs. We are confident that this will occur during the next conference in March 3 to 6, 2026. [...]
