FWIW, some of the owners (actually, about 29% of the stock) include these limited partnerships:

HEALTHCARE VENTURES II LP 1,492,009
HEALTHCARE VENTURES III LP 774,834
HEALTHCARE VENTURES IV LP 228,504

H & Q seems to be very tied in, too. H & Q Capital Management, H & Q Life Science Investors and H & Q Healthcare Investors, combined, control (or controlled as of close of last year) close to 1,400,000 shares (or about 16% of the stock).

Short interest is negligible: 4,289 as of June.
What brokerage houses cover these guys?

HealthCare Ventures, 30.8% of common outstanding!!

Rho Management, 8.7%, and an H&Q closed end fund, 8.6%. Then comes Novartis (6.2%) and Wisconsin (5.1%).

They're all hurting, of course. We need to be aware of anyone being squeezed, yes. But..... I'm really, really glad that their are dumbies out there.
