A medicine cannot repair an arthritic joint if it disappears before it has enough time to work. That simple problem has limited efforts to develop better injections for osteoarthritis, especially for experimental drugs that dissolve poorly in joint fluid. A technology from the University at Buffalo aims to solve this by turning an injection into […] The post New Gel May Treat Arthritis More Effec…
For many people with knee osteoarthritis, everyday activities such as climbing stairs, standing from a chair or walking around the shops become painful.

Finding treatments that are both effective and easy to continue is therefore an important goal for […] The post Could a Simple Fibre Suppl…

The condition develops when the protective cartilage inside the hip joint gradually wears away, causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

Nature Immunology, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41590-026-02542-2 Davidson et al. map the cellular and structural composition of developing joints and identify fibroblast populations that may predispose joints to inflammatory arthritis.
A new human study has uncovered how the body naturally turns off inflammation. Researchers found that fat-derived molecules called epoxy-oxylipins rein in immune cells that can otherwise drive chronic disease. Using a drug to boost these molecules reduced pain faster and lowered harmful inflammatory cells. The discovery could pave the way for safer treatments for arthritis, heart disease, and oth…
In a new study, researchers found eating a low-carb diet could reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis, the most common arthritis in the knee.
The finding suggests a healthy diet is important for people with arthritis and may help control their health condition.
The research was conducted by researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Osteoarthritis is a condition that affects the whol…
With its slow motion movements, Tai Chi doesn’t look like a typical fast-paced form of martial arts.
