From genome maps to the discovery of the genes responsible for diseases, an entire sector of world medicine has made a spectacular leap forward, thanks to the determination of AFM-Telethon families, and the momentum of the Telethon.
On June 20, World FSHD Day reminds us of the importance of raising awareness and supporting research into facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. Committed to the fight against FSHD, the AFM-Téléthon is making available a series of publications to enlight the advances in research by it, but also by many other neuromuscular diseases.
While it is customary for the heart of solidarity to beat for the Telethon on the first weekend in December, this year, exceptionally, the Telethon will be held on November 29 and 30, to make way for the ceremony to reopen the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris.
The initial results of Genethon's gene therapy trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy were presented on Tuesday 23 April at the Myology 2024 congress in Paris.
92,905,533 is the final amount raised by the Telethon held on 8 and 9 December 2023. This exceptional result bears witness to the unfailing mobilization of millions of donors, volunteers, and partners throughout France and abroad.
The AFM-Téléthon sends you its best wishes for the New Year and hopes that 2024 will be full of scientific breakthroughs, small and large joys, and shared victories!
The Telethon 2023 ended on a high of €80,671,222, which shows the confidence and exceptional mobilization of donors and volunteers for this year's event, rich in victories against disease and promises for all those waiting for the diagnosis and treatment that will change their lives. We must not give up.
Finding treatments for neuromuscular diseases by combining artificial intelligence, stem cells and pharmacological screening is the aim of the new DREAMS research consortium, coordinated by I-Stem. An unprecedented project!
The 2024 edition of the International Consortium on Myotonic Dystrophy (IDMC-14) will take place in Nijmegen from 9 to 13 April 2024. This is an opportunity to learn, share and network thanks to the presence of scientists, clinicians, patients and professionals from the pharmaceutical industry.
A gene therapy developed at Genethon by Ana Buj Bello's team is proving effective in a rare and very severe muscle disease: myotubular myopathy. Review of the results published online in The Lancet Neurology on November 15.
The 8th edition of international congress dedicated to neuromuscular science, MYOLOGY 2024, will take place in Paris from 22 to 25 April 2024. Registration and call for abstract are now open : don't miss an opportunity to showcase your latest study to an international community of scientists and healthcare professionals. The deadline for abstract submission has been extended until November 30, 2023 - 11:59 pm.
The first clinical results of the gene therapy for the treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 show good preliminary efficacy and biological tolerability. These first results have been presented during oral communications during the 30th Annual Congress of the European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ESGCT) and will be presented in the 2023 International Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Conference in Washington DC.
A review published by two researchers at I-Stem, one of the AFM-Téléthon laboratories, takes stock of human pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) and confirms their main advantages in neuromuscular diseases: improving understanding and identifying new treatments.
The 30th of September is Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day. At this occasion, the LGMD Interest Group of the AFM-Téléthon is planning an information day about these diseases in Evry.
