Neuronal Regeneration for Parkinson’s and Lewy body Disease Patients
“Brain,” the last mysterious cosmos in inner space. The brain consists of and is maintained by various neural networks with cerebral blood vessels and glial cells such as microglia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Intractable neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body disease, stemming from hereditary and age-dependent causes are becoming an increasingly pressing matter in aging societies with low birth rates, In the Pharmacology and Neurobiology Lab, our ultimate goal is the development of innovative therapeutic strategies and drugs, using animals such as mice and rats as well as human-derived cultured cells. In addition. Through analyses of the extraordinary neural regeneration ability found invertebrate planarian. We aim to develop innovative strategies for autonomic 3-dimensional regeneration in mammalian neural networks for Parkinson’s and Lewy body disease patients.
