Yes, or course research scientists are working hard to discover effective treatments, and eventually, to find a cure for ALS.A lot of the cutting edge work is being conducted at the Robert Packard Center at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, the only center specifically devoted to research into ALS. You'll find their informative website (including links to many of the most recent scientific and medical studies) at the link that I've posted below.As for your question about Stephen Hawking - though Hawking is perhaps the most famous person afflicted with ALS, medicine is not his specialty or his training. Hawking is a physicist, and therefore not particularly prepared to research motor neuron disease. As you're probably also aware, the progression of the disease in Dr. Hawking has now left him almost completely paralyzed.I hope that you find the Packard Center site to be informative. It's written in a pretty straightforward and non-expert style that should answer a lot of your questions.Good luck!
