I just heard about this company today, and will probably be investing. I'm seeing frustration of some investors, but gather it's about the price, not about the technology not being worthwhile.
I'm a recipient of stem cells for ALL at City of Hope nearly three year's ago, so I understand something about how important they can be, but my stem cells came from a 12 point match from an adult. As I understand the company, they may be developing technologies that could provide stem cells that didn't require DNA matching, please tell me if I'm incorrect about this.
My Dr. at COH has been involved in development of new T-cell technology, and I've sent him some information about the company to see if it's of interest to him.
I believe that Israel is a leader in this, and other technologies because they are not controlled by evangelical politician who restrict development if they believe it violates their interpretation of their religion. I hold some OWCP because I like the work Israel has permitted scientists to do with cannabis, while here in the U.S. they fight over it's use. In short, I like what I'm seeing here but would like to hear from others if I properly understand what's happening there.
I realize that at this time they're not working on some sort of universal stem cell for leukemia, etc, but it sounds like it's something they might get involved in sometime in the future.
I find it fascinating that our DOD is working with their product that helps with radiation exposure. U.S. law would almost certainly have prevented or slowed the development of this drug, however now that it's been developed in Israel, they're willing to work with determining how it can be utilized, and how effective it is. Much the same seems to be the case with cannabis and things like PTSD, as others prove it's of benefit the V.A. appears willing to permit our Veterans to use it. Sadly, it's our politicians that prevented our scientists from exploring the technology.
While I'd hope that a drug intended for radiation exposure wouldn't be needed, it's clear that even without nuclear weapons, radiation has been a hazard many times, and people have been sickened or died from exposure in a variety of reactor malfunctions. This is clearly something which should be stockpiled and available wherever it is needed. I don't know that the drug has blockbuster potential, but it ought to be profitable for the company.
I certainly welcome the thoughts of anyone familiar with the company.
