Abstract

after DMM markedly worsened joint damage and osteophyte formation. These findings suggest an important role for nociceptors in joint homeostasis, with differential effects if nociceptors are ablated before or after joint damage occurs. Our findings suggest a neurogenic contribution to joint homeostasis. Current work focuses on documenting the joint nociceptive innervation in the different experimental groups, and the relationship with pain.
