Description
Objective:
The overall objective of this European project is to offer a new means of treating chronic pain and inflammation of the locomotors system. It is expected to clarify the neuronal mechanisms of degenerative disease and to provide a new generation of upload drugs with analgesic and immunosuppressive properties acting selectively in the periphery with a minimum of side effects. The project is expected to offer a therapeutic alternative with general applicability in age-related disorders such as osteoarthrosis, and skeletal metastasis as well as other chronic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and low back pain and also reduce the need surgery.
