The future of MND seems to lie in the hand of stem cells treatment, finding an effective way to create Motor Neuron Cells from a stem cell. In 2006, a new treatment called iPS was created that may be the break through to finding a way to make Neuron Cells that could cure MND. Stem cells are turned into motor neurons and when the motor neurons start to die the stem cells are injected into the dead motor neuron giving extra motor neurons and they help to stop more neuron cells dying, unfortunatelly this procedure is yet to be finalised and there for the stem cells die just like the rest of the cells..jpg)
