[Publication] Our Research Published in BMC Ophthalmology

The research conducted by Dr. Shin-ichi Ikeda (Project Assistant Professor) et al. has been published in BMC Ophthalmology. In this study, we demonstrated that topical administration of 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) suppressed the progression of myopia in mice in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the potential of 4-PBA as a therapeutic agent for myopia control.
