Hansson has contributed to several recent publications, reflecting their areas of expertise:

  • "Nerve growth factor in the equine joint," 2020, The Veterinary Journal
  • "Bupivacaine in combination with sildenafil (Viagra) and vitamin D3 have anti-inflammatory effects in osteoarthritic chondrocytes," 2021, Current Research in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
  • "A randomized, triple-blinded controlled clinical study with a novel disease-modifying drug combination in equine lameness-associated osteoarthritis," 2023, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
  • "Expression of nerve growth factor and its receptors TRKA and P75NTR in spontaneous equine osteoarthritis," 2020, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage
  • "A Novel Treatment Combination of Sildenafil, Mepivacaine and Glucose with Disease Modifying Properties, in a Pony with Lameness Associated Osteoarthritis - A Case Report," 2023, SSRN Electronic Journal

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Hansson include Eva Skiöldebrand, Susanne Nyström, Anders Lindahl, Anna Kendall, and Stina Ekman. This network reflects interdisciplinary work mainly revolving around veterinary and pharmacological research on musculoskeletal conditions in equines.

The primary publishing venues for Hansson's work are:

  • The Veterinary Journal
  • Current Research in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
  • Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
  • Osteoarthritis and Cartilage
  • SSRN Electronic Journal

Hansson's scientific contributions address fundamental and applied questions in osteoarthritis mechanisms and treatment, equine veterinary medicine, and neurophysiology of pain and inflammation. The blend of molecular, clinical, and pharmacological approaches in their research supports advancing therapeutic strategies for chronic joint conditions in both veterinary and potentially translational human contexts.
