Bill:

It's not that I don't think it's possible. BTW, this is not the first time that it has been proposed that a stem cell committed to a given lineage can change costumes.

No, it's that it would take forever to determine how to reliably push the cells to a given differentiation state and to scale up production for clinical use. It's science fiction, Bill. Doesn't mean that it isn't good science or that it wouldn't be a good near-term investment concept (to ride any hype).

I'm just saying that.... VMRX can sell CPRO or Baxter units (should be humorous to watch). CTII can think of practical uses for the NeuroSpheres stuff. But, if you think that VMRX can make practical use of NeuroSphere-like observations, you'd best be very, very patient.
