Geron Surges on Cancer Patent

Article Link

Biopharmaceutical company Geron's (GERN:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) stock surged about 14% after the company said it was issued a U.S. patent for its cancer-destroying therapy, telomerase-based cancer immunotherapy.

By early afternoon, shares of Geron were up 57 cents to $4.42 on the Nasdaq.


The therapy, currently in Phase 1 human clinical trials, uses telomerase, an enzyme that is abnormally activated when tumors progress, to prepare a patient's immune system. Telomerase activation helps cancer cells resist cell death, which allows cells to grow and resist cytotoxic drugs. Geron's immunotherapy method works by telling the immune system to attack cells that contain telomerase.

You can delete your own post anytime Caliban, anyone who has written has the option. [sleep]

I like leaving some of this banter as a moment of reflection and also suggestion if others are having similar problems. [unsure]

O'Rights you can't be offended at the idea of self censorhip, could you?

I consider it editing, unless it is a true change in opinion. :(

Though I have edited negatives to positives and visa versa that I have typo'd. Consider them exisdyslexic fingers. Anyway if you leave it you could think of it as a metaphorical Green Door to the topic site you've created Caliban.

Caliban.. I moved it back here to Science & Tech News.... good idea actually, there are numerous companies in nanotech, biotech working toward anti-aging success. I also want to build a strong database in the "links directory" on our home page.

BTW, O'Rights informed me that he'll be enjoying the weather as much as he can for now.... so to expect more of him in the fall and winter.
