SCWD brings together leading voices in muscle biology and wasting disorders to explore mechanisms that continue to shape the field. In a featured 2025 session in Rome, Dr. Denis Guttridge and Prof. Andrea Bonetto discussed novel insights into muscle atrophy and hypertrophy mechanisms, highlighting how advances in preclinical and translational research are refining our understanding of sarcopenia, cachexia, and muscle wasting. These discussions reflect the core direction of SCWD,strengthening the link between basic science and clinical application, and improving how muscle disorders are studied across disease states. The themes remain highly relevant as the field continues to evolve, with ongoing emphasis on translational relevance, experimental design, and therapeutic development. SCWD 2026 in Washington, DC will continue to build on these scientific foundations, bringing together global experts working across cachexia, sarcopenia, adiposity, and muscle wasting to advance collaborative research and clinical translation.

At SCWD 2025, Prof. Christopher Perry highlighted the importance of integrating preclinical and clinical research environments to improve translational relevance in study design and how findings are understood. This ensures that muscle biology research is directly connected to muscle health and muscle wasting in clinical settings. He emphasized that this exchange of expertise not only refines experimental approaches but also supports more innovative directions in therapy development and diagnostic strategies for muscle disorders in cancer and beyond. SCWD continues to serve as a scientific platform where these interdisciplinary interactions shape how evidence is generated and translated into clinical impact. SCWD 2026 in Washington, DC will further this dialogue, bringing together researchers and clinicians working across cachexia, sarcopenia, adiposity, and muscle wasting to advance collaborative translational science: society-scwd.org/ #SCWD #SCWD2026 #WashingtonDC #Cachexia #Sarcopenia #MuscleWasting #Adiposity #IncretinTherapies #MetabolicHealth #WastingDisorders #CancerCachexiaResearch #OncologyResearch #EndocrinologyResearch #AbstractSubmission

Are we all speaking the same language when it comes to body composition? As incretin-based weight loss therapies continue to evolve, understanding how body composition terms are defined and applied in clinical practice and research is increasingly important. Join Prof. Carla Prado at SCWD’s accredited CE breakfast symposium at ADA 2026 as she explores the foundational concepts that help shape how we assess, discuss, and study body composition.

Sarcopenia is not just muscle loss. It is anabolic resistance. Ageing muscle becomes less responsive to protein and exercise accelerating strength decline and functional impairment. Assessment must go beyond muscle mass. Strength and performance matter for risk stratification and outcomes.
