Brief description Inflammatory joint diseases affect millions of people worldwide and in most patients these often chronic conditions can not be cured. In an experimental model of arthritis we have found that bone cells can modify the severity of inflammation when certain hormonal signals are blocked. This study will identify the mechanisms underlying these hormonal effects with the aim to find new targets for efficient treatments for arthritis.
