Osteoarthritis Model

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis occurring when the cartilage between bones becomes damaged after a sustained inflammatory response, causing joints to become painful, swollen and hard to move. Pain, reduced mobility and adverse effects from medications substantially affect the patient quality of life. Cellomatics offers OA in vitro models which recapitulate the main disease phenotypes: inflammation, anabolism or hypertrophy and general degradation of chodrocytes.
