This process will eventually enable researchers to identify the events and processes that will lead to joint degeneration, the functional characterization of proteins that are involved in the process, and the manner by which these gene products contribute to joint degeneration.
As a result, this deepened understanding could potentially lead to the timely prevention and more efficient treatment regimen for people suffering from Osteoarthritis.
