The European Journal of Translational Myology (previously published as Basic and Applied Myology) is recognized as the authoritative European forum in the field of Translational Myology. The journal provides a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of high-quality research addressing muscle biology and pathology across multiple levels of investigation, including fundamental, cellular, molecular, genetic, clinical, and translational studies. Its scope encompasses a broad array of article types, such as original research papers, systematic and narrative reviews, editorials, viewpoints, methodological protocols, rapid communications, comments, and letters to the editor. Through this multifaceted approach, the journal fosters scholarly exchange and advances the integration of basic and applied knowledge into clinical and translational practice.
