>> Are there any other public plays in this sector??? <<

Jim:

Specifically in human stem cells?.......... anything that is not lineage-specific (i.e., makes only a given tissue such as muscle) probably will bounce up against the GERN patent estate. There are good plays on porcine (pig) pluripotent stem cells, very good plays. Pigs are a likely source of organs (kidneys, etc.) for future transplants.

There is a company that specializes in mesenchymal (human) stem cells. I'm trying to remember the name of it. If I find it, I'll report back before the open tomorrow. Not really relevant, IMO, but with this freaking circus, it certainly couldn't lose one much more than commisions. ;-)

BTW..... for those that feel that this is a new observation...... please note that this post was made in October, but October *1997*........
