Attended the @worldmusclesociety.org Programme Committee meeting in Berlin! After two days and ~850 abstracts I think we have a great programme brewing for the Hiroshima meeting in October! @myofinlab.bsky.social @folkhalsanresearch.bsky.social

Today is Rare Disease Day. 🩷💚💙💜 Approximately 5% of the world's population is affected by a rare disease. #RareDiseaseDay is an important initiative for us, as nearly 90% of neuromuscular disorders are classified as rare diseases. (1/5) @rarediseaseday.bsky.social

To mark Rare Disease Day on 28 February we want to highlight the importance of Folkhälsan’s research on rare neuromuscular diseases – both for our researchers and for the people living with a rare neuromuscular condition. @myofinlab.bsky.social

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this beautiful card my students made ❤️ There's images of fluorescent myosin! Wishing "Peaceful, and super-relaxed Christmas. May your ATP-storages be full, and muscle work efficient also next year" 😄💪🔬 @myofinlab.bsky.social @folkhalsanresearch.bsky.social
