Go With Us! to EULAR 2025: Big Breakthroughs in Sjögren’s—New Research, New Hope

In this Go With Us! debrief from EULAR 2025, Leila—Health Education Manager at AiArthritis and a patient living with lupus and Sjögren’s—shares the most exciting updates from sessions on Sjögren’s disease.

This year brought a wave of innovation and fresh hope for people living with this often misunderstood condition. In this video, you'll learn:
How mRNA technology (like what was used in COVID vaccines) is being used to study Sjögren’s
What biomarkers like RHO 52 and RHO 60 can reveal about disease severity and lymphoma risk
New tools like salivary gland ultrasound and AI that may help speed up diagnosis—especially for seronegative patients
How autonomic dysfunction may explain symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness
