Basic, Translational, and Clinical Osteoarthritis (OA) Research
On April 30, 2013, NIH grantees, clinicians and patients met NIAMS leadership and staff to discuss how findings from basic, translational and clinical osteoarthritis (OA) research can be combined with recent advances in inflammation research to enhance understanding of the early processes involved in the initiation and onset of disease. The discussion prompted possible avenues for interventions to prevent or delay OA development. Part of the Institute’s scientific planning process, the full-day roundtable addressed topics including the impact of inflammation, the evidence for activation of inflammation in the development of OA, and the relationship of inflammation to pain and other pathogenic pathways in the disease. The group also discussed how interventions during the initial injury of a joint and the ensuing healing process might influence the later development of OA. Participants included NIAMS Deputy Director Dr. Robert Carter (front, fourth from r) and staff, including Drs. Joan McGowan (front, third from l), Bernadette Tyree (front, fourth from l) and Gayle Lester (front row, third from r).
