Special Issue on Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as the elbow or knee. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. The main symptoms are pain, stiffness and swelling in and around one or more joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis which is often related to aging or an injury.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Arthritis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Osteoarthritis
