Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of joint disease in elderly people and is characterized by pain and dysfunction. Although the monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced model is widely used as a rodent KOA model, it is important to acknowledge the inherent limitations of this model, as the MIA model develops complex pathological phases on a daily basis. An accurate understanding of this model and the selection of an appropriate time point according to the target for drug candidates can lead to the development of clinically effective drugs.
