Lupus (SLE)
Lupus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease causing your immune system to attack your body's own tissues - causing inflammation. Learn causes, symptoms and treatments.
Understanding the role of the immune system in fatigue
Versus Arthritis and the Kennedy Trust are jointly funding research to better understand the role of the immune system in post-viral fatigue.
Preventing osteoarthritis: Unlocking the potential of cell-based therapies
We want to stop osteoarthritis early, before it becomes severe. That's why, our researchers are exploring a revolutionary treatment called cell-based therapy.
Sex, relationships and arthritis
Arthritis can affect sex and your relationships, this section looks at some of the common challenges and ways to manage them.
Occupational Therapy
Learn more about occupational therapy, including how it can help help you with your work, household tasks, personal care and hobbies.
Osteoarthritis - Developing and evaluating the use of cell implantation therapy
Learn about our research into existing therapies that use a patient’s own cells to repair damaged joint tissues, to improve and extend current techniques.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA)
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a type of vasculitis, an inflammatory condition that affects the blood vessels. Learn about the causes, symptoms and treatment.
Rheumatoid arthritis - Are bad stem cells responsible?
Learn about our research into testing the theory that RA is sustained and perpetuated by diseased stem cells in the joint that give rise to abnormal tissue.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used for osteoporosis in women at risk of fractures and menopausal symptoms. Learn how it works, risks and side-effects.
Wax bath therapy
Wax bath therapy relieves pain and stiffness in the hands and this improves mobility. Learn its uses and side-effects when treating arthritis.
Osteoarthritis - Using bone marrow stem cells to produce high quality cartilage
Learn about our research into finding the best environment in which high quality cartilage, lost through osteoarthritis, can be produced from stem cells.
Rheumatoid arthritis - Investigating stem cells in joint health and disease
Learn about our research in cutting-edge technologies to study the way the stem cells maintain normal joint tissues or become abnormal in joint diseases.
Osteoarthritis - Improving understanding of how stem cells can form, organise and repair joint tissues
Learn about our research which aims to improve knowledge of how stem cells can form, organise and repair joint tissues - potentially treating osteoarthritis.
Do your patients have an immunosuppressive therapy alert card?
Do you have patients on biologics or other immunosuppressive therapies? Discover our handy immunosuppressive therapy alert card.
Discovering a new joint cell offers hope for people with RA
Discover the research indicating cell function which could settle inflammation and ‘teach’ nearby cells to repair the joint, known as ‘resolving’ cells.
