Global Survey Seeks to Evaluate Feedback Practices to Create a More Inclusive Environment for Researchers
The ISSCR is working with researchers out of the University of Greenwich, UK on a project that aligns with the Society’s strategic priorities to foster inclusivity, collaboration, and excellence within the research community. This initiative seeks to enhance feedback practices across disciplines and regions, creating a more inclusive environment that particularly benefits early-career and marginalized researchers.
Researchers Develop Personalized Stem Cell Model ALS for Fast, Individualized Drug Testing
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), motor neurons that are required for muscle contractions die off, leading to progressive paralysis affecting most muscles of the body. The molecular causes of ALS are poorly understood, and effective treatments are missing.
To study ALS in the lab, Hideyuki Okano and his colleagues from Keio University, Japan, developed a new method to make motor neurons from stem cells taken directly from ALS patients. The results were just published in the journal Stem Cell Reports.
