Good stuff!

I have one comment about the Duke work..... it's very convincing work, but it demonstrates only very weak activity for angio in inhibiting the proliferation of endothelial cells. That is, they convincingly describe the receptor, but.... who cares?

But, Gawwwwwwd, what a neat story..... tumors feeding on dying cells, a unique mechanism for growth.

But, now, returning to the real world of pharmaceuticals......

Not necessarily the news:

IBD 197 Industry Group Rankings of price performance put Medical-biomed/Genetics sector of 178 companies in 13 th place, up from 15 th last week 16 th three months ago.

No doubt that biotechs are a hot group and getting hotter. If and when those big pharmas that have said they are interested actually do buy, this sector could become one of the hottest, even replacing internet stocks from the top 4 spots.
