This is meant to be a personal summary, and I have no pretense of this being an objective scholarly review. Since the first description of the disease by Krabbe 100 years ago, knowledge about the disease has advanced significantly. The main contributions from my laboratory, always the fruits of dedicated efforts of talented young colleagues, include the identification of the genetic defect as deficiency of galactosylceramidase, proposal of the psychosine hypothesis as the pathogenetic mechanism to explain the unique phenotypic characteristics of the disease, detailed delineations of the substrate specificities of the two lysosomal \u03b2\u2010galactosidases, discovery of the twitcher mutant as a convenient and useful mouse model, and identification of saposin A as a specific galactosylceramide activator protein and as the second causative gene for globoid cell leukodystrophy. Now, attempts are being made in many laboratories for meaningful therapy, unthinkable when I started working on this disease. Despite these advances, there are still many unknowns and uncertainties about Krabbe disease waiting to be clarified. \u00a9 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jnr.23735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,17]],"date-time":"2016-09-17T11:22:31Z","timestamp":1474111351000},"page":"965-972","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["My encounters with Krabbe disease: A personal recollection of a 40\u2010Year journey with young colleagues"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Kunihiko","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-4159.1963.tb11919.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005072-196504000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0092-8674(00)80093-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-4159.1968.tb06203.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-2275(20)42957-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4547(20000115)59:2<170::AID-JNR3>3.0.CO;2-G"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4547(20000115)59:2<179::AID-JNR4>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/5.6.711"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0028-1091865"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/6.2.205"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2643164"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.6719111"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1000","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-2275(20)37736-1","article-title":"Analysis of galactosylsphingosine (psychosine) in the brain","volume":"25","author":"Igisu H","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Lipid Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(80)90159-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-2944(82)90003-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02531841"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/10.11.1191"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/10.23.2709"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddh281"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-291X(72)90381-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2004.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1022436928925"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_24_1","first-page":"1296","article-title":"Saul R.
