Scientists invented a pocket-sized model of the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The "disease-on-a-chip," made using stem cells, could pave the way for new treatments for the ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (in green) co-cultured with iPSC-derived astrocytes (in red). [VIB] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains one of the most devastating and biologically elusive neurodegenerative diseases. Despite decades of research, its underlying mechanisms are still not fully ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
