From the last quarterly report issued 11/13/98 we have...
In May 1998, Astra AB agreed to increase the annual research and development payments from $7 million to $8.5 million for the calendar year 1998. This increase in funding is being recognized as revenue in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 1998.
They just don't call it cereCRIB in the filings.
here are some patents with "encapsulated" in the title, there are others patents which apply too which just say "capsule", but this is enough for now...and I suspect for most folks on the thread, I'm just repeating old stuff.
5,843,431 Controlling proliferation of cells before and after encapsulation in a bioartificial organ by gene transformation
5,840,576 Methods and compositions of growth control for cells encapsulated within bioartificial organs
5,837,234 Bioartificial organ containing cells encapsulated in a permselective polyether suflfone membrane
5,833,979 Methods and compositions of growth control for cells encapsulated within bioartificial organs
5,795,790 Method for controlling proliferation and differentiation of cells encapsulated within bioartificial organs
5,550,050 Method for implanting encapsulated cells in a host
I took these off the yahoo thread...if I get a chance to double check off the ibm server I'll post anything else that turns up.
