A lot of research is done into arthritis in its many forms. Billions of dollars are spent each year and tens of thousands of man-hours are poured into finding ways of curbing or eliminating this condition. In the last several decades there have been some significant advances too which just goes to show how important funding these initiatives are. It’s important that the advances continue so as to ensure a better standard of wellness for those afflicted with arthritis.
Along these lines, Keele University in the UK has just received several million pounds worth of funding. Keele has a specialised research centre for arthritis and similar conditions and will be able to continue its pioneering work thanks to this new grant.
Considering 20% of adults visit their doctors with arthritis-like symptoms every year and the condition has spread so widely, it’s important that funding reaches the right places! Keele has already shown promising results and hopefully, in the years to come we will see much more from the University!
