Intraarticular microbial DNA as a novel mediator of osteoarthritis
Description: Project Narrative The proposed research is relevant to public health because a better understanding of how non-genetic environmental risk factors increase the risk for osteoarthritis (OA), and how the gut and/or cartilage microbiome relates to OA, is likely not only to give insights into the causes of OA, but also to give rise to new treatments for OA patients. Thus, this proposal is relevant to the part of the NIH's mission that pertains to fostering fundamental creative discoveries, innovative research strategies, and their applications as a basis for ultimately improving health.
