Therapeutic Targets and Pain Stratification for Patients with Osteoarthritis

Identification of a number of differentially-expressed genes in bone marrow lesions for stratification of patient pain. Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterised by the deterioration of cartilage in joints resulting in bones rubbing together creating pain and impaired movement. According to the World Health Organisation...

Tissue-type Mapping of Brain Tumours with MRI

This invention provides a novel method of analysing MRI data of a tumour in order to determine the tumour type. Background Glial tumours are the most common primary brain tumour and exhibit a heterogeneous infiltrative growth pattern. Although biopsies are still key to assessing tumour type and grade, they do not provide a full 3D picture of...
