Researchers pinpoint enzyme involved in arthritis onset

joint pain and stiffness, which can result in severe pain and disability. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of the disease, affecting more than 2 million Britons and 20 million Americans.

As yet there is no cure for arthritis, and no effective treatments to repair damaged cartilage. The researchers hope that, through understanding more about the molecular pathway in which PKR is involved, they will be able to discover new drug targets for the treatment of arthritis.
