[HT-10] Motor neuron diseases in the era after translational research

[HT-10-4] iPS細胞技術を用いたALSの病態解析と創薬・治験

岡野 栄之 (慶應義塾大学医学部 生理学教室)

A recent advance in understanding the pathogenesis of various motor neuron diseases has lead to groundbreaking therapies for motor neuron diseases, including spinobulbar muscular atrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. In ALS, the antisense oligonucleotide therapy and high thruput drug screening using iPS attract huge attention as a promising therapy. This symposium is focussing on therapeutic advances based on the recent innovative translational researches.
