Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumour in women, and an appropriate animal model for leiomyoma would be useful for exploring new therapeutic strategies. Therefore, we have been challenged to develop a new simple mouse model for human leiomyoma. As a result, this model will be useful for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
