I went to the Institute for Genetic Medicine 4th Annual Symposium where Irving Weissman talked. He presented data that will be published in the April issue of Nature. it's pretty good! and why else would it be published in nature anyway. His stem cell transplantation for cancer therapy looks very good. He used sublethal doses of chemotherapy which will ablate blood cells also and kill the patient. He used mice to show that this could be counteracted by blood stem cell transplantation during chemotherapy. This showed regression of tumor while keeping the animals alive. He also has an assay developed to separate the bone marrow free from tumor metastasis. New England Journal of Medicine and the New York Times have reported the failure of stem cell transplantation but according to Irving Weissman, they didn't do it right! They did not eliminate tumor cells from metastasis. Also, they used "peripheral blood stem cells." Of course it's not going to work! just loaded up on CTII. Check out systemics (?) he also found that company too. tyoon

Hi, Redbird... Yep, there are games being played here IMHO... Wasn't watching yesterday... When the market turns like this, I go on holiday... Parlaying stocks in this type of market is not for me... I'd lose my shirt! I looked at the chart but didn't notice any huge blocks going thru... Looks like there were a lot of scared investors and a lot of buyers waiting for the opportunity to help them out of their shares... (again, JMHO) I was expecting a "correction"... Perhaps not this severe but knew it had to happen. My initial thinking was that something would be done to adjust the imbalance and prop up the Dow... Games being played??? >>possibility of a right wing President and Congress scaring anyone (as it pertains to CTII<< That's an interesting take on the situation... not to be ignored. Having spent a lot of hours listening to the political debates/interviews, I find the underlying views regarding "in vitro medicine/science" a bit suffocating. Brings visions of witch-hunts to mind (shiver)...* Anyway, maybe we can start to position for another bull run... Would be nice, no? Happy Trades! Carol P.S. * I'm an Independent (non-partisan)
