Multiple System Atrophy Therapeutics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab clarifies the mechanisms of the intractable disease multiple system atrophy and develops treatments for it.

AboutAbout the lab
Bringing treatments to the most intractable of intractable diseases.
The lab aims to elucidate how multiple system atrophy (MSA), a neurodegenerative disease, develops, and to develop treatments for it.
Multiple system atrophy is among the most intractable of intractable diseases, causing a variety of neurological symptoms such as movement disorders and autonomic dysfunction.
The mechanisms of onset are not yet sufficiently understood, and no fundamental cure has been established.
Key terms
- Multiple system atrophy
- A neurodegenerative disease that causes movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and other symptoms.
- Nucleic acid therapeutics
- Drugs that use fragments of DNA or RNA to regulate the activity of genes involved in disease.
- Biomarker
- A substance in the body that provides clues about the state of a disease.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the molecular mechanisms of the onset of multiple system atrophy, creates animal models, and searches for biomarkers for early diagnosis.
