Yes, the trial continues today. Here's the rest of that Dow Jones article, which the Boston Globe lopped off:

Additionally, not all of the responsive cells generated stable amounts of the protein.

Heartlein contrasted the results with Transkaryotic's gene-activated kidney cancer cells that were successful in making consistent amounts of erythropoietin.

Counsel for Amgen poked at the strength of the testimony by focusing on the differences between Heartlein's experiment and Sugimoto's patents that would lead to dissimilar results: cells used for fusion, possible cell selection procedures, and stability data.

Transkaryotic and Aventis ended the session with the introduction of expert witness Dr. Phillips W. Robbins, the American Cancer Society professor of biochemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and professor of molecular and cell biology at Boston University. The court accepted his credentials as an expert witness in glycobiology. Attorneys will proceed with questioning of Robbins on Friday.
