Lecture: How Can We Use Stem Cells to Find New Treatments for Motor Neuron Disease?

Some diseases like motor neuron disease are very severe, and very little can be done to help. However, one of the most exciting aspects of our research is the attempt to develop a new treatment. If you were to pretend that you are a neurologist and a scientist, how could modern biotechnology (stem cells) be used to better understand the cause of the disease? How can we identify a new treatment? Here, we will illustrate the ideas and thought processes that we use to achieve these objectives.
