Musculoskeletal disorders are an heterogeneous group of diseases that represent one of the major causes of disability. Considering the importance of studying these pathologies, it is necessary to develop research lines based on the availability of human biological material from highly clinically relevant patients. The purpose of this project is therefore the establishment of a bank of biological material (biobank) to investigate important aspects related to the pathologies of the musculoskeletal system through subsequent bio-molecular characterization studies.
