Recent studies have highlighted major roles for skeletal muscle in human health, yet most of the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored, from molecules to the organism. This EMBO Workshop will address a pressing demand for understanding muscle development, homeostasis and regeneration, notably in disease conditions. Each scientific session will be covered from multiple perspectives (development, homeostasis, regeneration, ageing, disease), using a variety of model systems (in vitro models or in vivo, from invertebrates to human) while exposing the latest developments in genetics, metabolism, -omics, imaging, disease modelling and therapeutic strategies.

We are delighted to invite you to the 8th World Congress of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy, which will take place on 11–16 October 2026 at the Splendid Conference & Spa Hotel in Budva, Montenegro. Colleagues and friends from all over the world will come together once again for a week of shared learning, reflection, and meaningful connection on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro. Through scientific presentations, experiential workshops, and creative dialogue, the Congress will offer a space to learn from one another, to listen, and to co-create new ways of understanding what it means to heal and to help.See you in Montenegro!

Learning OutcomesBy the end of this course participants should be able to: Understand the principles of image guided and adaptive radiotherapy Implement image guidance for major patient groups in their home clinicUnderstand the relevant choices for the selection of the best image guidance protocol for their home situationHow to start adaptive radiotherapy in their clinicKnow the benefits of various image guidance and ART protocols Course ContentThis is a 4,5-day live course organised to identify the influence of image guidance at important steps in the workflow of radiation therapy.
