Summary

The Restoring Joint Health and Function to Reduce Pain (RE-JOIN) consortium is a new NIH-funded initiative that brings scientists from various US-based institutions, including Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), together to better understand the origins of joint pain in diseases such as osteoarthritis. At BCM, the RE-JOIN team consists of five research groups that have joined forces to tackle this research question.
