ENDOTARGET at ICRS Summit

/in /by

🦴 ENDOTARGET is heading to Porto

From 8–10 October 2026, the 8th ICRS Summit will bring together leading scientists, clinicians, and innovators to discuss the future of joint preservation, cartilage regeneration, and regenerative medicine under the theme “Joint Preservation: The Regenerative Era is Underway.”

🔎 At the ENDOTARGET EU Project, we are excited to join this international community and contribute to discussions on the mechanisms driving osteoarthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Our research explores the complex relationship between the gut microbiome, chronic inflammation, metabolic endotoxemia, and joint health, offering new insights into disease development and potential personalised prevention strategies.

The summit offers a unique platform where cutting-edge science meets clinical practice, fostering collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals, industry representatives, and early-career scientists.

🤝 We look forward to connecting with colleagues, sharing knowledge, and exploring new opportunities for collaboration.
