chirodoc, I'd say a LGND plug is a long shot unless they talk about the drug LGND's going to get (from SRGN?), or new ways to treat diabetes.

No mention of LGND, but Evista was discussed and possible $1/2 Billion is sales for the first year was also mentioned. Didn't want to talk about side effects (or narrow indication as predicted by CTSL). However, market should be substabtial and LLY is looking at combining with retinoid/rexinoid (maybe Targretin or LGD1268).
Also talked about wider indications for drugs in general.
