Stem cell study could aid motor neuron disease research

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - 15:30 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have discovered a new way to generate human motor nerve cells in a development that will help research into motor neuron disease. Scientists have created a range of motor neurons -- nerves cells that send messages from the brain and spine to other parts of the body -- from human embryonic stem cells in the laboratory.
