Like humans, horses with osteoarthritis exhibit a yearslong progression of the disease with varying types of pain, much like the different types and levels of pain reported by humans with osteoarthritis. Additionally, their joints are more similar to ours than, say, a rodent’s, one of the most common models used for osteoarthritis research.

UF researchers are collaborating on a $5.4 million NIH grant to study osteoarthritis pain and progression in humans and horses, leveraging their unique expertise.
