> 19/04/2005 : Press pack - International congress of myology
- Nantes - 9 to 13 May 2005
Understanding the muscle and curing its diseases: the era of trials
in man
Moving, reaching out a hand, walking, jumping, getting up - but
also breathing, digesting and eating - all these daily gestures
that we ask our body to perform in order to function correctly depend
on its 500 or so muscles. And these represent 40% of our body weight.
To take stock of our present state of knowledge of the muscle and
its diseases, the AFM is organising its second congress devoted
to myology, in Nantes from 9 to 13 May. In recent years, myology
has become one of the world's "beacon disciplines" of
clinical research.
