I just went long too, initially as trade, but after some reading of their press releases may stay in this one for the long run.
They've got some pretty broad patents covering cell reproduction processes for stem cells used in bone marrow transplants, connective tissue and cartiliage. I'm no expert in this by any means, but from what I can gather, their techniques are a HUGE benefit to chemotherapy
patients since cells can be reproduced with a very small starter sample of cells from the patient or donor, and cell reproduction is
faster. This allows for much less time (and needle sticks) to collect the cells prior to treatment, and shorter recovery time between treatments. Like I said, I'm no expert so don't take this
as fact, but it sure looks like they've got something here.

Any experts out there that can comment on the prospects of this company.

The Morgan BUY recommendation was very brief, so I'm also wondering
how they came up with the $12 target. Can someone provide more data
or a link to their rationale.
