Brian, I had seen the article and fully agree that much works is in store for companies to develop this into a viable treatment method. It is MO that Bush will have to move on this issue and give his approval in the near future.

With reference to this NY Times article, the part that I like and IMO will be a plus for BTRN is ...."as with blood transfusions or organ transplants, cells can carry infections or be rejected by th patient's immune system." Not only does BTRN have projects dealing with the rejection issue, but with the recent purchase of Eligix, they address the purification issue of potential infected cells. And then with the Austrilian company, they have a toe in the door with the actual stem cell research. Plus, the safe net with the Medimune drug that is moving through the clinicals. From my perspective, BTRN has every aspect covered, if stem cell research is expanded and if something viable comes from this area of medical treatment.
