Can't say I've followed them for quite a while - but my interest is kept alive by their IP in hedgehog pathways. May never turn into dollars, but clearly worth keeping an eye on.

For example, here's an interesting article on diabetic neuropathy:

J. Clin. Invest. 111:507-514 (2003)

Article
Therapeutic efficacy of sonic hedgehog protein in experimental diabetic neuropathy


ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/utils/fref.fcgi?http://www.jci.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=full&pmid=12588889

And there were also some neat-sounding PR's relating to spinal cord injury if my memory serves me correctly.

It's of course hard to know what to do in valuation terms with companies that might have good IP but don't have a product. Mostly they seem to end up fizzling. (I'm thinking companies like the old SNAP).

Harold:

I would have said about what Peter did, except without the polish. I've never owned the stock.

We all under estimated the time that it would take to bring basic science to clinical reality. CRIS just went a bit to the extreme.
