Progress and Promise of Stem Cell Research: Lou Gehrig’s Disease/ALS

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s disease is caused by the destruction of motor neurons. Find out how scientists are attempting to use stem cells as trojan horses to repair the injured motor neurons and produce new healthy motor neurons!

Guest voiceover: Dr. Larry Goldstein

This video was produced in collaboration with Americans For Cures and explains how stem cell research, funded by California’s Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, is leading to groundbreaking advances in ALS.
