This just came out today from Colorado University and it looks like the most promising breakthrough on a possible cure for ALS to me anyway. Clinical studies will not be available for 1-3 years however. My sister listened to the program and sent me to this site to listen to it, though unfortunately it does not have that ability. I'm sure we will hear more about it soon.
