| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded in elucidating the process of collateral blood vessel formation in a mouse RVO model using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography(OCTA). We also confirmed that the collateral vessels of this mouse RVO model were located in the same capillary bed of the retina as humans in both OCTA and histological assessment of retinal tissue. In this study, we also uncovered one of the factor in collateral vessel formation in RVO.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今回の研究によってマウスと人のRVOにおける側副血行路に類似点が示された。つまり、マウスRVOモデルの探求によって解き明かされる内容は人にも当てはまる可能性が高いことが示唆されたことは大きな意義があると考えられる。また、これまでRVOにおける側副血行路形成要因については不明であったが、その1つの可能性を初めて確認できたことは今後の研究に対し大いに意義があり、これまでと異なる新たな治療法のブレイクスル－につながる可能性がある。
