Despite a sub-numerical representation (less than 5% of research units from INSERM and CNRS), French researchers involved in research on musculoskeletal diseases have led to major advances for several of these pathologies.
For example, thanks to the discovery by French researchers of antigens responsible for a diagnostic test for rheumatoid and prognosis of the disease has been developed.
Regarding research on osteoporosis, serum markers for assessing the risk of fractures and new genes responsible for the anabolic activity of bone cells have been identified.
In the field of osteoarthritis, the genes modulating the activity of synthesis of chondrocytes were also found.
Finally, French researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of repairing bone loss using marrow cells fixed on natural biomaterials (coral).
Developing research in osteo-articular France requires:
- To attract young researchers to this area, thus facilitating the return to France of those parties to acquire additional training abroad
- Develop technical platforms are severely lacking both in exploring the cellular and experimental models for studies from human samples.
