Why is a cure for arthritis still out of reach?
In short: Joint stiffness and pain are often dismissed as inevitable signs of aging, but the reality is more complex. This video explores the science behind arthritis, a condition affecting more than 90 million people in the United States.
Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust investigate the biological drivers of the most common forms of arthritis. They examine why these symptoms—ranging from elbow pain to creaky knees—frequently plague younger individuals rather than just the elderly.
The presentation looks into the underlying mechanisms that make the condition so pervasive and addresses the scientific challenges that have prevented a definitive cure.
