World Young Rheumatic Disease Day 2025

On the World Young Rheumatic Diseases Day 2025, we want to join global efforts to raise awareness about young rheumatic diseases and highlight the challenges faced by children and young people living with these conditions.

Rheumatic diseases, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, can significantly impact the lives of young patients, affecting their health, mobility, and quality of life.

At the ENDOTARGET EU Project, we are dedicated to advancing research into the underlying mechanisms of rheumatic diseases, with a focus on the role of the gut-joint-axis in disease progression. By exploring innovative approaches and identifying biomarkers, we aim to contribute to earlier diagnoses, better treatments, and improved outcomes for young patients.
