A new model for identifying the causes of osteoarthritis in each patient: The basis for personalizing future treatments

A recent study by UPF’s BCN MedTech Research Unit has outlined a new computational model that simulates the interactions between the proteins present in joint cells and helps pinpoint the factors that cause osteoarthritis in each patient. The development of this computational model is particularly relevant, given the fact that the factors which produce this disease may be different for each person. Therefore, identifying the specific causes in each case is key to treating osteoarthritis in a more personalized and efficient manner.
