| Research Abstract |
Using iPLA2 beta-deficient mouse for an animal model of human neuroaxonal dystrophy, the pathomechanism was studied by pathological, biochemical and genetical analysis. It was found that the mitochondrial degeneration is implicated in the pathogenesis of neuroaxonal dystrophy and its control can delay of disease development. Based on these results, we could propose new strategy for the establishment of human neuroaxonal dystrophy therapy.
