This Project Grant award of $404,187 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support research to explore the role of the Notch2 signaling pathway in the development of osteoarthritis and associated inflammatory responses. The University of Connecticut Health Center will conduct this research over a period of 5 years, with a goal of establishing the specific cell types and mechanisms responsible for Notch2-dependent osteoarthritis and inflammation. The research aims to uncover novel Notch-related pathways and mechanisms that contribute to the progression of osteoarthritis and the enhanced inflammatory response in cartilage.
