Similar to its function in experimental RA, αCGRP exerts a dual pro-inflammatory and bone-protective function in murine primary OA. Although anti-CGRP treatment was previously not successful in reducing pain in OA clinically, these data underline a crucial pathophysiological role of αCGRP in age-related OA.
