#WMS2026 #Weltmissionssonntag

In zehn Tagen feiern wir den #Weltmissionssonntag. Jetzt ist ein guter Moment für einen kurzen Blick auf die Vorbereitung:
✔ Aktionsplakat aufgehängt
✔ Spendentüten und Gebetskarten ausgelegt
✔ Liturgie und Fürbitten vorbereitet

#WMS2026 (1/2)

Sr. Marie Odette Baomazava unterstützt in #Madagaskar Mädchen und Frauen durch Ausbildung, Begleitung und soziale Förderung. Als Ordensfrau und Pfadfinderin verbindet sie Bildungsarbeit mit 🌱 Umweltengagement.

#Mädchenförderung #WMS2026 #Weltmissionssonntag

Nach Jahren der Dürre leben viele Familien im Süden von #Madagaskar in provisorischen Hütten. Schwester Béatrice und ihre Mitschwestern versorgen sie mit Nahrung, Bildung und medizinischer Betreuung. 🌍

For now, my 'Asian tour' across #WMS2026 in Japan and #MDS2026 in South Korea is complete - until next time!

#apaperaday @worldmusclesociety.org #WMS2026 belated special part 4 is by Benning et al on a meta analysis on survival of Duchenne patients published in Journal of neurology DOI 10.1007/s00415-026-14121-4.
Note that tomorrow we start an #OTS2026 oligonucleotide therapeutics society meeting special.

🌍 Drei Ordensschwestern aus #Madagaskar zeigen, wie #Forschung, #Bildung und #Gesundheitsversorgung Leben verändern. Sie entwickeln #Medikamente, unterrichten Hunderte Kinder und versorgen Kranke in abgelegenen Regionen.

#apaperaday @worldmusclesociety.org #WMS2026 (belated) special part 3 is an extensive one: the ENMC report on safety aspects for AAV gene therapy in neuromuscular disease patients by Orbach et al published in @worldmusclesociety.org journal neuromuscular disorders Doi 10.1016/j.nmd.2026.107371.

#apaperaday I am aware there have not been daily paper 🧵during #WMS2026. The problem was that the wifi was as bad as the meeting was good, which interfered with tweeting. Yesterday was catchup day after returning from WMS (emails also suffered from the poor wifi) but today #apaperaday has a restart

#WMS2026 | That's a wrap! ✨The 2026 @worldmusclesociety.org Congress came to a close this weekend in Hiroshima, Japan.

🏆 Congrats to Audrey EL KAIM receiving the WMS Allied Health Prize & Eline Lemerle awarded the President's Prize for Best Basic Science!

The flag has been handed over to Finland! 🇫🇮 Next year, the World Muscle Society congress will be held in Helsinki. See you all in Helsinki!

#apaperaday The @worldmusclesociety.org #WMS2026 special continues with a pick from Stenler et al in @moltherapy.bsky.social nucleic acids on a comparison of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment in adult and very old mice. DOI 10.1016/j.omtn.2026.103017

In his #WMS2026 talk "Advances in Translational Therapeutics for DM1," Prof. Masayuki Nakamori (Yamaguchi University) highlighted how quickly the DM1 pipeline has matured, and also what remains to be solved: the endpoint

As the @worldmusclesociety.org congress gets underway in Hiroshima, MAGIC Horizons is proud to have our partners sharing research and helping shape the landscape of neuromuscular disease.

Take a look at our poster highlighting MAGIC contributions across WMS 2026.

Disclosures: I consult for Italfarmaco and spoke in their symposium (reimbursement to LUMC but Italfarmaco funded my travels to #WMS2026). Also, I have been saying a combination of givinostat & exon skipping should have synergistic effects. This paper supports there may be ascertainment bias.

Do all DM1 therapies need to be oligonucleotides?

What about:
-> small molecules?
-> engineered RNA-binding proteins?
-> gene and repeat targeting?
-> drug repurposing?

Future DM1 therapies discussed at #WMS2026 will extend beyond oligonucleotides alone

Curious about how alternative splicing shapes muscle development and disease? Come visit my poster, #1.046, during the first poster session (starting at 14:30) and discover MyoSpliceAtlas, a resource for exploring splicing regulation in cardiac and skeletal muscle. #WMS2026

#WMS2026 #Hiroshima started with powerful messages of peace and reminders of how ugly war can be; a message that feels very relevant these days.

#WMS2026 📍Meet our experts & research teams at @worldmusclesociety.org Congress in Hiroshima, Japan, from 29 Sept. to 3 Oct.!
