On behalf of the organizing committee chaired by Profs. Eckhard Schönau and Dieter Felsenberg, I have the great pleasure to invite you to attend the 7th International Workshop on Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions.

The meeting will take place between 20th-23rd May 2010 in the ‘Kardinal Schulte Haus’ in Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne, Germany.

The meeting is organized by the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (ISMNI), a non profit scientific society whose mission is to enhance the knowledge of the interactions between tissues and organs involved in the function of the musculoskeletal system.

Emphasis is mainly given to interactions of bone, joints, muscles, and the neuronal system. ISMNI seeks to link multiple disciplines in promoting a broader understanding of the physiology of the musculoskeletal and neural systems and the clinical applications of their interactions, mainly loading and exercise.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 7th ISMNI meeting in May 2010.

Jürg A. Gasser

President ISMNI
