Wonder if 5/18 Keynote Address Will Give Us Some Clues?
Presentation by Mike West coming tomorrow. I'm super curious to see what Agex is focusing on these days. I've noticed they've been saying iTR is going to be employed against cancer, which surprises me, as I think of iTR as building new healthy tissue, not destroying unwanted tissue. I guess maybe now that they think they understand the genes implicated with cell regeneration, it may somehow be easier to interfere with those genes in cancerous cells, rather than prompting normal cells to regenerate. That said, from the topics below, it looks like they are going to try and conquer both! I can't wait for this presentation. Agex has been very quiet on details of their work, and this may be the first detailed look at the path they are attempting on their various product lines. With the spinoff details due in the next 2 weeks, I think they are going to release the hounds here.
Here's today's announcement:
