CATEGORIES:Conferences - Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Prof Robin Poole\, Mc Gill University\, Canada\nThe presentati
 on will briefly review the pathology of arthritis and the molecular basis 
 of cartilage destruction in arthritis. The rationale for biomarker develop
 ment will be discussed. Skeletal biomarkers developed by the speaker and h
 is colleagues and the reasons for their development will be reviewed. Exam
 ples will be given of biomarker use in the fields of rheumatoid arthritis 
 and osteoarthritis. This will include diagnosis\, assessment of rates of d
 isease progression and determination of early responses to therapy. Biomar
 ker use in preclinical models of joint disease will also be discussed as w
 ell as unpublished data on inflammatory biomarkers in osteoarthritis.
