There is an article dated December 7, 1998 in "The scientist" which contains some comment from Dr. Folkman which should be of interest to Entremed investors.

Folkman also thinks that finding the receptors that bind angiostatin and endostatin will improve antiangiogenesis techniques. "As soon as they are known, it means that chemists have a chance to try to find a substitute for the protein--a small molecule that could land on the receptor and do what the whole protein does." He also predicts that other groups will find more angiogenesis inhibitors that may be more stable and effective than angiostatin and endostatin: "There are going to be many angiogenesis inhibitors. They just keep coming."

Does anyone have any thoughts on the possibility that another company might cut out Entremed on AS and ES by finding a substitute for the protein--a small molecule that could land on the receptor and do what the whole protein does?
