- Bioactive marine compounds as novel therapeutics in osteoarthritisPublication . Perrolas, Inês Madeira; Simes, DinaOsteoarthritis (OA) is a whole-joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, tissue inflammation, abnormal bone formation and extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization. This disease leads to severely impaired life quality of patients. Currently, there is still no cure or approved therapies capable of modifying the OA course. Treatment is limited to the use of therapeutic strategies with modest efficacy that, in some cases, cause undesirable side effects. The identification of new and effective disease modifying drugs, without side-effects, is important for the OA treatment.
