Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Generated from Patients with ALS Can Be Differentiated into Motor Neurons

Abstract excerpt

The generation of pluripotent stem cells from an individual patient would enable the large-scale production of the cell types affected by that patient's disease. These cells could in turn be used for disease modeling, drug discovery, and eventually autologous cell replacement therapies. Although recent studies have demonstrated the reprogramming of human fibroblasts to a pluripotent state, it remains unclear...
