Pain sensitization linked to increased risk for persistent knee pain

Becoming more sensitive to pain, or pain sensitization, is an important risk factor for developing persistent knee pain in osteoarthritis, according to a new study by researchers from the Université de Montréal School of Rehabilitation and Hôpital Maisonneuve Rosemont Research Centre in collaboration with researchers at Boston University School of Medicine.

Researchers discover mechanisms that lead to osteoarthritis after knee joint injury

Knee joint injuries are typically related to sports, such as football, rugby or ice hockey, but people often do not know that such injuries may lead to joint inflammation and post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Researchers track where tetracycline antibiotics go in human cells

We know that antibiotics treat bacterial infections. We also know why they work. Tetracycline antibiotics, for example, stop bacteria from making protein. Like a boot on a wheel, the drugs bind to the bacterial cell's ribosome--where protein is made--and prevent it from working. Without protein, the bacteria weaken and die.

Bioengineering scientists propose new paradigm for research into cardiovascular diseases

Thrombosis-on-a-chip, vasculature-on-a-chip and engineered models of human cardiac fibrosis are just a few of the new technologies revolutionizing research into human cardiovascular disease--a condition responsible for 17 million deaths per annum globally.

Study reveals link between childhood abuse and higher arthritis risk in adulthood

In a survey-based study of 21,889 adults in Canada, severe and/or frequent physical abuse during childhood and frequent childhood exposure to intimate partner violence were linked with higher risks or arthritis during adulthood arthritis, even after controlling for a range of factors. The findings are published in Arthritis Care & Research.
