Reading this collection

Grouping these under one heading is a navigation convenience, not a clinical claim. Osteoarthritis is primarily degenerative and rheumatoid arthritis is autoimmune; a finding in one does not transfer to the other.

Much of the work in this cluster is preclinical or mechanistic. Where a record reports a human endpoint, its tier label says so.
