They have more irons in the fire than ever before. There's the pending merger with LyGenesis, that will instantly turn them into a phase 2a company. It's also possible that Morphoceuticals, Inc. will join them, somewhere down the road. AgeX's most exciting technology, that's been transferred to their subsidiary Reverse Bioengineering, is likely to become autonomous, which was probably the plan, all along. One reason is that its success could undermine much of the other projects.
The AgeX staff has recently granted themselves a significant number of call options, with a term of 10 years. Juvenescence has three main shareholders, who presently own 51% of the company. AgeX in turn belongs to Juvenescence, by currently over 50%. AgeX's pre-merger shareholders are supposed to retain an 80% "economic interest" in Reverse Bio, which is likely their most exciting project. On behalf of the three main investors, co-founder Jim Mellon just recently affirmed that none of them will be selling any shares. From the way it sounded, he probably meant, they won't be selling in years, maybe not even in decades. They intend to see the mission through.
Unfortunately, as much as they might be one of the most exciting bets of all time, they're also not exactly known for being communicative, for a number of reasons. You might almost say, they operate in some sort of indefinite stealth mode, with a number of issues to work out. But the veil will lifted, eventually. As much as this might not be very popular with the troops, this company, if successful, could be one of the best examples of the stock market, being about reallocating money, from the impatient to the patient. Your call.
Any information about Juvenescence and some actual revemue efforts in the next year? Or do we just remain a science research center with no hope for a stock that might have some market value in the next few years?
With a $50M package for them in 2019, might one hope for some actual plans, timelines, goals, etc. being communicated to shareholders as if this was an actual investment vehicle rather than the science project that seems to be the message so far.

We can only guess, how much pressure must be in the boiler, by now. At the same time, their communications morale has dropped to an all-time low. They might eventually walk in on us, with lock, stock and barrel at once. We know, they‘re working to get RB underway, and to make a concrete proposal, regarding the merger. That should make for plenty of action and new prospects. If the stock actually goes lower still, it might be a very brief dip. It's grotesque already. All of this defies belief.

What happened to the big plans with Juvenesence? I thought the billionaire was going to take over the biotech world. LCTX seems to have something resembling a weak pulse, but AGE seems to be a moribund research project.

This analysis may epically underestimate the company‘s potential, but our stock price history suggests that this is indeed, how many investors look at us. A knock-out announcement would still come in handy, and one that carries financial weight.

I can’t say, I‘m the least bit surprised about today. This morning, it already looked like the market was completely unimpressed, and the stock fell, perhaps because the chart was already suggesting a re-test of the previous turning point. There‘s method to what we’re seeing here. The supercentenarian paper didn’t cut it either, nor did the news about the BAT study. What all of these events have in common, is that they don’t represent a tangible path to profitability, especially no timeframe. As I speculated in one of my previous posts, many factors might coincide here, and continue to keep the stock down. I‘d say, it‘s mostly the early-stage work, combined with funding needs, plus possibly a technology that is too mind-blowing to be understood, much less believed. On the other hand, we‘ve seen, how far meaningless events can take us, if there‘s only sufficient momentum.
The silver lining to this could be that the chart is far from uneventful, if you look past the day-to-day disappointments. Nothing suggests that what happened in October, was a common gap, or it probably would have been closed, months ago. Instead, the floor moved up to 1.41, where the stock stabilized in November.
I also think, there is a substantial possibility that the market could suddenly start playing this game in the opposite direction. Instead of constantly missing the prospects, and making a case like „90% of all drugs don’t make it past phase I“, the market could just as easily start pricing the stock, like there is no limit to their potential. This process might have already begun, only it‘s happening in slow motion. Once people take for granted that no run in AgeX will ever last, they might suddenly realize that they completely missed that it‘s already changed.
In the absence of hard facts on the balance sheet, the market might continue to knock us around. But substantial income might have already been placed in a far more distant future than it could turn out to be.
I still consider this level interesting. The possibility of being outperformed in the near-term, is ubiquitous. Perhaps the greatest challenge is the required patience. If the first question asked, is how many days it will take, to triple, the broad public might continue to ignore the AgeX stock. But this also means that many of them will end up chasing, when there finally is a lift-off.
Another aspect might be the lack of analyst coverage. A company, this small, remains under many radars. And almost no one will even dare to make any projections. They, too, could end up chasing. I‘m pretty sure that once we hit 20, someone will make the bold prediction that we might also hit 40. But to realize that 2 was a lot more interesting, that must be too much to ask. When standard indicators don’t apply yet, it seems like hardly anyone is ready to make a prediction anyway.
@Bob
The market runs its own affairs. The stock is obviously drawn to its recent turning point at 1.89. If they announced the exclusive licensing of their cancer applications, for an upfront of half a billion, the market would have no choice. But there is always some excuse. I suppose, if West introduced mice that can regrow eyes, ears and legs, and are expected to last 1,000 years, we’d drop to an all-time low. I wish I could load, but none of what I‘m trying to sell, is even trading today. And what I could sell, I don’t feel like selling.
Hi All, it's Bob from the Yahoo AGE message board setting up shop here in Investor's Hub. Peter, PAR75 and Felix - you all are welcome to DM me if you are set up over here. I've got an item I'd like to discuss with you.
Retards shorting premarket will end up getting burned up after the open.
Yummy! AGE $AGE
We shall see. Tomorrow could get interesting.
Great day of action! Held strong... next leg coming???
Agreed then back up we go! Low floater here with big money behind it!
Institutional investors make shorters
VERY NERVOUS.
Especially if they have a 50% stake.
They're covering now. IMO
There could be a huge squeeze here.

Confusion regarding AgeX and LCTX collaboration/competition
LCTX states
"We have entered into three separate agreements with entities in the cell therapy space for the license, development, manufacture and sale of products based on our broad cell therapy platform and technologies."
Subsequently on 12/30 AgeX states...
" Going forward we plan to strengthen our capacity of executing on external licensing and collaboration deals with third parties as well as in-house cell therapy product development."
Does anyone have a clear idea or a website that explains who is selling what? When AgeX split from BTX/LCTX who owns the rights to which patents, etc.?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I'm posting this on both the LCTX and the AgeX sites.

AgeX Therapeutics and Juvenescence Publish Paper on Engineering Strategies for Universal Cells and Provide in Vivo Observation on Immunotolerance UniverCyteTM Technology Platform
10/30/2019
Paper published in peer-reviewed journal Regenerative Medicine
UniverCyteTM platform aims to utilize proprietary, novel, modified form of immunomodulatory molecule HLA-G to generate universal allogeneic cells to enable off-the-shelf therapeutics without the need for immunosuppressants
Previously unpublished in vivo observation signals that UniverCyte-modified allogeneic cells may be potentially hypoimmunogenic in humanized mouse model
Co-authors are Drs. Nafees Malik and Gregory Bailey of AgeX and Juvenescence, Dr. Annalisa Jenkins of AgeX, and Jim Mellon, Chairman of Juvenescence
ALAMEDA, Calif. & DOUGLAS, Isle of Man--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2019-- AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“AgeX”; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, and Juvenescence, a life sciences company developing therapeutics and technologies to treat diseases of aging and to increase human longevity, announce the publication of a new paper in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Regenerative Medicine. The paper is on the engineering of allogeneic cells to be hypoimmunogenic (universal), so as not to produce an immune response. The strategies reviewed in the paper include deletion of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class Ia/II proteins, expression of HLA class Ib molecules, and manipulation of immune checkpoints.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191030005329/en/
In addition, the paper presents a previously unpublished in vivo observation on allogeneic human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) modified with AgeX’s proprietary immunotolerance technology, UniverCyteTM. In humanized mice (those with a functional human immune system), UniverCyte-positive hPSCs formed larger and heavier tissue compared to controls. This observation provides support for the premise that UniverCyte-expressing tissue was potentially hypoimmunogenic and might have escaped recognition by a functional human immune system and continued to grow. Further work is required to substantiate this preliminary in vivo finding.
“Hypoimmunogenic allogeneic cells are the Holy Grail in regenerative medicine, and a number of accomplished researchers have made great strides toward engineering them over the last few years,” commented Dr. Nafees Malik, Chief Operating Officer at AgeX, Head of Cell & Gene Therapy at Juvenescence (a major investor in AgeX), and lead author on the paper. “This is a huge area of focus for us at AgeX, via our UniverCyte technology platform. In support of our own research and as a service to the overall field, we decided to put together this paper, analyzing all the leading strategies to engineer universal cells and encapsulating them in one paper.”
Dr. Malik’s co-authors on the paper are Gregory Bailey, MD, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AgeX and CEO of Juvenescence; Annalisa Jenkins, MBBS, FRCP, who serves on the Board of Directors of AgeX; and Jim Mellon, Chairman of Juvenescence.
Mr. Mellon added, “AgeX’s UniverCyte technology platform will not only be important to the company in developing in-house therapies, it may also be transformative for the wider cell therapy industry via collaborations and licensing deals. It is quite conceivable that in the near future, allogeneic cell therapies may potentially need to be universal to be clinically and commercially competitive.”
AgeX is developing its UniverCyte technology platform at its new 15,700-square-feet R&D facility, in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has current good manufacturing practices (cGMP)-capable manufacturing capacity.
“Universal cells would help us and others to fulfill the original vision of cell therapy,” said Dr. Bailey. “Thus, I am pleased that my colleagues at AgeX and Juvenescence have put together this paper, as it should be of considerable benefit to researchers, possibly enabling them to accelerate their progress.” He added, “AgeX’s UniverCyte technology uses a novel, modified form of the tolerogenic molecule HLA-G, which in nature plays a key role in preventing a mother from rejecting her semi-allogeneic baby.”
The paper is being published online ahead of print on Wednesday, October 30, 2019. It may be found here.
