***OFF TOPIC -- AETERNA***

A press release in the Sept 15 Genetic Engineering News is as follows:

(edited)

Aeterna Labs has isolated a new molecule of low molecular weight that could be the key to a new class of drugs for treating diseases complicated by angiogenesis, including cancer, psoriasis and arthritis. The molecule has matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibition properties ...

MMP enzymes work by destroying the interstitial net between cells, thus opening spaces for cancer growth. Cancers produce large quantities of MMPs as they develop, The new discovery is part of the company's ongoing programs for characterizing its angiogenesis inhibitor, AE-941, a product currently undergoing clinical studies ...

obviously in very early studies

Unfortunately, a big day for this stock is when it trades ANY shares and it seems to be able to go for a month or months at a time with almost no trades.

Also, being on the Toronto exchange, there is a derth of financial information on the company. Yahoo says it lost 3 cents a share this year but I don't even know how many shares it has. Apparently only one trade since its announcement on September 15 and that was 3000 shares down about 20% from its previous trade.
