How do you get an extra dose of motivation in your workday? At NMD Pharma, we recently had the immense pleasure of welcoming Stefan Bos, who lives with SMA, and his caregiver, Erna Speelman, who is also his mother, to our offices in Aarhus. Stefan lives with spinal muscular atrophy (#SMA), but, as he puts it: “I have SMA, I am not SMA.” During his visit, Stefan met with colleagues across #NMDPharma, toured our in-house laboratory facilities, and shared his personal story of living with SMA. He gave us valuable insights into his everyday life, what works, what does not, and what continued movement would mean to him. Stefan also shared a message that resonated with all of us: “If you can help me keep the movement in my finger, support my voice, and support my breathing, I would be very appreciative.” For our #scientists and teams working to advance small-molecule drug candidates designed to enhance #MuscleFunction and endurance in people living with #NeuromuscularDiseases, Stefan’s visit was a powerful reminder of why individual patient stories must remain central to #DrugDevelopment. At NMD Pharma, we are dedicated to improving the lives of people living with neuromuscular diseases, and we value the voices, experiences, and perspectives of #Patients and #Caregivers. Their insights help shape how we think about research, clinical development, and the potential impact of our work. Thank you to Stefan and Erna, for sharing your story, your valuable perspectives, and your world with us 🙏🏻 #SMA #SpinalMuscularAtrophy #NeuromuscularDisease #DrugDevelopment #RareDiseases #LifeSciences #PatientCommunity

Vitamin D plays a far greater role in our health than many people realizem especially when it comes to our bones and muscles. It is essential for maintaining strong bones, supporting calcium balance, and promoting healthy muscle function, strength, and coordination. Without adequate vitamin D, the body becomes more vulnerable to weakness, discomfort, and long-term musculoskeletal issues. Beyond structure and movement, vitamin D works quietly at a cellular level, helping the body stay resilient, active, and supported through every stage of life. Understanding this connection is a reminder that small daily choices, including maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, can have a meaningful impact on how we move, feel, and age.

🦷 The Foundation of a Beautiful, Functional Smile: Why We Must Study Facial Muscles When we think of dental health, we often focus solely on teeth. But at Ovidental, we know that your smile is a dynamic masterpiece driven by a complex symphony of facial muscles! 🎶 Understanding the precise anatomy of facial musculature—like the Orbicularis Oris (our "kissing muscle"), the Masseter (essential for chewing), and the Zygomaticus (the "smiling muscles")—is paramount. Why? It's not just about aesthetics (though we love a well-contoured face! ✨). ☑️ A deep knowledge of these muscle groups is vital for: ◽️ Effective TMJ Treatment: 🧠 Correctly identifying overworked muscles can pinpoint the source of jaw pain and tension headaches. ◽️ Optimal Dental Restorations: 🦷 Ensuring crowns, bridges, and implants are designed to function harmoniously within the patient's unique muscle structure, preventing wear and dysfunction. ◽️ Precise Aesthetic Injections: 💉 (If applicable to your clinic’s services, otherwise this can be adapted.) Knowing exactly where and how much to treat for a natural, rejuvenated look without affecting function. ◽️ Improved Speech & Expression: 🗣️ A balanced muscular structure is essential for clear communication and expressive freedom. 👉 At Ovidental, our commitment to your smile extends far beyond your teeth. We analyze the entire picture, ensuring your dental health supports your muscle function and your muscle function supports your dental health. It’s a holistic approach to a beautiful, comfortable smile! 😁 ❓ Tell us, which of these muscle groups did you know about? 🤔 Share below! #Ovidental #FacialMuscles #FacialAnatomy #DentalAnatomy #SmileDesign #TMJTreatment #CosmeticDentistry #DentalHealth #MuscleFunction #HolisticDentistry #AnatomyGeek #ProfessionalDentalCare #HealthySmile

Hydration matters! According to research published in the journal Nutrients, water constitutes approximately 76% of muscle mass. When your cells don’t get enough water, your muscles feel it and your strength suffers. And for older adults, even mild dehydration can tip the balance toward frailty.

What powers our movement at the molecular level? Charles Frison-Roche uncovers the role of MBNL proteins in muscle function, revealing key insights into mobility. doi.org/10.1093/brain/awae33… Dive into the science: scipod.global/charles-frison… #Biology #Science #MuscleFunction

New Discovery in Cellular Energy Production May Advance Muscle Disorder Treatments _ Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have identified a key cellular mechanism linked to energy production in muscles, highlighting its activation by physical exercise. _ This discovery holds promise for treating muscle-related conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Key Findings: _ Role of SLIRP Protein: SLIRP is essential for stabilizing mitochondrial genes, which support energy production. Loss of SLIRP damages mitochondria, leading to energy deficits in muscle cells. _ Exercise as a Remedy: Physical exercise can bypass genetic defects in mitochondrial energy production, activating alternative pathways to restore muscle energy capacity. _ Potential Therapeutics: This knowledge could lead to the development of drugs that mimic the benefits of exercise, particularly for patients unable to engage in physical activity. _ Applications include over 200 muscle-related disorders, including rare mitochondrial diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions. Broader Implications: _ Enhancing muscle mass and function could improve survival outcomes in cancer patients by enabling optimal chemotherapy tolerance. _ Future treatments may improve quality of life for individuals with reduced muscle function, promoting healthier aging and recovery from illnesses. _ While replicating all benefits of exercise pharmacologically is a distant goal, this breakthrough advances the understanding of how exercise supports muscle health at the molecular level.

‼️Attention athletes‼️ Nicotine blocks nicotinic receptors, preventing acetylcholine from binding. Acetylcholine is crucial for nerve conduction & muscle contraction, so blocking it reduces muscle function and performance. Aka makes you weaker.
