PROTO-ADVANCED PERSONALIZED THERAPIES FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS

The European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS) 31st Annual Meeting, Porto, Portugal, 27–29 September 2023. Part 2 of 2.



Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, affecting approximately 16% of the adult population worldwide. The chronic inflammation in the joint leads to the breakdown of cartilage, which leads to permanent pain and limitations in everyday life at an early stage of the disease. To date, there is no therapy that can interrupt the inflammatory state or reverse cartilage damage. The PROTO consortium (funded by the EU Horizon Europe program, Grant 101095635) aims to prevent the development of OA by correcting a pathological biomechanical pattern by a digital training intervention and to treat early stage OA with an innovative allogeneic cell therapy.
