Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis models derived from human embryonic stem cells with different superoxide dismutase 1 mutations exhibit differential drug responses

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative motor neuron (MN) disease. The gene encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is a causative element of familial ALS. Animal ALS models involving SOD1 gene mutations are widely used to study the underlying mechanisms of disease and facilitate d...
