Henry, >>psoriasis & Panretin trials<< Thanks for the elucidation on both the skin disease & the choice of the more difficult route in the APL trials. We can be sure LGND management knows what they are about, based on their remarkable achievments to date. I have wondered about their use of both Targretin & Panretin against the same targets but thought that each compound might attack the problem from a different receptor or area of a receptor complex, enabling a different but complementary benefit to the patient. Would that were so, the revenue stream wouldn't hurt. Whatever happens, let's hope we get strong performing compounds to the market as soon as possible. Lastly, I've run into a roadblock on admission to the H & Q conference. I have plane tix & hotel reservations. If any threadster has a connection, I'd appreciate it. A comprehensive report of the LGND & whatever other of the presenting companies requested would be forthcoming. Bernie.

Henry, I'm intrigued by the comment in the corporate profile of LGND by Research, Inc. that,"LGND's scientists are... identifying specific molecular "sub targets" within the receptor complex which act through pathways that may permit the discovery of EVEN MORE REFINED MOLECULES {emphasis added}, representing a NEW GENERATION OF DRUGS. {my emphasis again}. Any thoughts on what they are hinting at? Bernie.
