Abstract
Conducting drug discovery efforts in patient- and disease-specific cells can maximize their likelihood of success. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Yang et al. (2013) demonstrate the power of lineage-specific cell-based drug screens by identifying a compound that promotes survival of stem-cell-derived ALS mutant motor neurons.
