and disability. OA may affect one or many joints of the body, most typically the knees, hips, hands, big toes, and the spine. The joints most commonly involved in OA are shown inFigure 1. In all joint sites except the hip, OA is more common in women than in men. An important dist...
Osteoarthritis occasionally can develop in multiple members of the same family, implying a hereditary (genetic) basis for this condition. Osteoarthritis is therefore felt to be a result of a combination of each of the above factors that ultimately lead to a narrowing of the cartilage in the affec...
We first detected alterations in PDGFR-β levels in the subchondral bone of humans with OA. Western blot results showed that the PDGFR-β level was remarkably elevated in the osteoarthritic part of the human subchondral bone compared with the relatively normal (RN) part (Fig.1a, b).7This ele...

Osteoarthritis sometimes happens in multiple members of one family, hinting that a gene change has been handed down from parents to children. Rarely, these cases are caused by problems in collagen, a tough protein found in your connective tissue. ...
Forcing joints to carry more weight than they were designed for often results in premature failure. Symptoms - Muscular Having excess body fat Extra weight contributes to the wear-and-tear and gradual breakdown of the hips, knees, and feet. There is also evidence that extra fats play a par...
they are limited in their ability to address arthritis in multiple compartments of the knee.Because over half of people with knee osteoarthritis have damage done to more than just one compartment of the knee, we designedSpring Loaded bracesto address this limitation by using a bionic hinge. The...
The associations between KOA and BMD in certain body parts (femur, pelvis, lumbar, lower leg, and whole-body) were assessed. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The BMD of each body part was divided into quartiles and the relationship between KOA and BMD was examined ...
Osteoarthritis causes debilitating pain and disability, resulting in a considerable socioeconomic burden, yet no drugs are available that prevent disease onset or progression. Here, we develop, validate and use rapid-throughput imaging techniques to identify abnormal joint phenotypes in randomly selected ...
