A Novel Human Stem Cell-based Model of Lou Gehrig's Disease Opens Doors for Rapid Drug Screening

Newswise — Long thought of as mere bystanders, astrocytes are crucial for the survival and well-being of motor neurons, which control voluntary muscle movements. In fact, defective astrocytes can lay waste to motor neurons and are the main suspects in the muscle-wasting disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Notable Quotes
"You have to look at what happened in the last six months.... 1.4 million people have come down with the very diseases that might be helped by stem cell research:

* 700,000 were diagnosed with cancer;
* 30,000 with Parkinson’s Disease, including my son-in-law;
* 5,500 Americans with spinal cord injuries; and
* 750,000 adults with diabetes.

That’s 1.4 million more people that might be helped, but can’t be helped. So we all know the time has come. "
