Using a mouse model of painful osteoarthritis, they found that blocking this pathway eliminates pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and results in a return to normal limb use. The work, the first to find an association between this pathway and osteoarthritis pain, could lead to the development of new, effective pain treatments for people with...

Researchers identify osteoarthritis ‘pain pathway’
by Tracey Peake, North Carolina State University Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers from North Carolina State University have discovered that a particular molecular signaling pathway plays an important role in producing osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Using a mouse model of painful osteoarthritis, they show that blocking this signaling pathway eliminates pain and results in a return...
