Peter van der Kraan and collaborators were the first to demonstrate that TGF-beta drives the formation of osteophytes and synovial fibrosis in OA joints, 2) found that TGF-beta acts as a protective, load-stimulated factor in a healthy, young joint, but as a harmful factor in an arthrotic joint, 3) that the protective function of TGF-beta decreases in old cartilage compared to young cartilage.
The Basic Science Award was to be presented at the annual osteoarthritis conference that would take place this year in Vienna. The official ceremony has been postponed by Corona. Of course, winning this prize is not a merit of Peter van der Kraan only, but an achievement of the entire Experimental Rheumatology laboratory, in addition to several PhD candidates and post-docs, in particular Henk van Beuningen, Esmeralda Blaney Davidson and Arjan van Caam.
