In two compelling studies published online, a team of scientists from the Project A.L.S./Jenifer Estess Laboratory for Stem Cell Research, the Broad Institute,
Harvard Stem Cell Institute, the Motor Neuron Center at Columbia University, and the
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, among other institutions, announced that it has established reliable procedures for evaluating the efficiency of differentiated
induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines...

Project A.L.S. Her Charity
The Emmy Award winning star of The Good Wife named Project A.L.S. her charity of choice in the 2010 holiday issue of InStyle magazine. Juliana says: "My friend Jenifer Estess, a theater producer, was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease ALS when she was 35. Jenifer and her sisters began Project A.L.S. in order to help further the cause of stem-cell research, and I believe it's vital to finding a cure. So far we've had great success."
