January 1st Newsweek features an article "A Pig May Someday Save Your Life" by Geoffrey Cowley. Forecasts that xenotransplantation will generate $6 billion a year by 2010. Currently only 1/3 of the 180,000 people awaiting human-donor organs will get them.

Mentions research at Imutran in Cambridge, England and a company from Priceton, N.J., Nextran, that is focusing on raising genetically altered pigs.

Richard, I noticed your lament in this post about BTRN not getting the market attention/appreciation that MEDI gets.

Do you realize BTRN has almost tripled this year, just slightly under the MEDI triple? Not bad!!!!

Any idea of the level of royalties from MEDI to BTRN that may eventually flow?

happy holidays.......Bill
