Re: Current job listing
No, please stop. Geron doesn't have a lab, they aren't doing any preclinicals of their own.

Re: Quote from Dr. Stephen Hahn FDA Commissioner
PLEASE go read Hahn's apology on Twitter for this "35%" lie. And stop spreading it, it's pure political theater. We don't even have a controlled study on these "plasma" (really should be "serum" IIRC) experiments... they've thrown pooled blood products (think about that one for a minute, they've bee...

Re: Hat tip to Jaime YMB
Come on... Geron doesn't even have a lab! Imetelstat already failed so many times against solid tumors... how many more patients are you willing to sacrifice? They haven't even been able to get an approval against the much easier targets in blood cancers. They won't even have the MF trial ENROLLED u...

Re: A question for the FDA
Don't vent here, tell the FDA themselves:

Of course they're too busy explaining why they banned PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 (except for the non-working CDC test) until Feb 29, and STILL don't any pharma to release info on off-label drug use for coronavirus.

It's expensive, but CAR-T keeps getting approved. How long until it gets to MDS and MF?

Would like to see any evidence for any Japanese connection to Geron. Imetelstat is a commonly used research reagent in hundreds of papers.

Re: Imagine reading this
Actually, blood can be frozen quite efficiently... remember, I spent seven years in labs freezing and reanimating human cells ;) We've been freezing and reanimating cells at >95% efficiency since 1960. It's just a matter of either finding the right antifreeze (we used glycerol or DMSO, both a little...

Re: Sergei Gryzanov now CSO of MAIA
It is critically important to know what happens when you use a single-base telomerase inhibitor along with an oligo in vivo... in cell culture it's very effective, but AFAIK no one is bothering to try it in human trials. So much secrecy, so many "trials" just to do patent extension on old drugs, so ...

Re: By 2:30 AM Eastern time June 12th
Yes but all he had to do was wait two weeks and raise at a higher stock price, that’s the part I don’t get. Price went down, not up. Scarlett knows more about the trials and competition than we do. If he raised money at $1.30, that's what he could get. Have to give him credit for knowing the market...

Sergei Gryzanov now CSO of MAIA
Surprised to see no discussion of this on any Geron board. Geron has patents that apply to 6-thio-dG, MAIA's telomerase inhibitor. Will MAIA have to pay royalties to Geron if they succeed? Why did Sergei go to MAIA in the first place... was there just no place else for him to go after the Alios disa...

Re: By 2:30 AM Eastern time June 12th
For the same reason that he sold ATM shares at $1.37... he doesn't expect the market to be interested in paying more, and there's always the threat of ARGX, CNST, or one of the dozens of other companies with trials in the MDS field lapping Geron.

Re: YMB Censorship and GERON’s ex-US partner? - Pt 2
You still don't understand what imetelstat is, or where it's actually made. You can buy any oligo you want from China... but you can't sell it in the US oncology market. Chinese companies willing to sell you oligos have absolutely nothing to do with Geron. You weren't kicked off YHOO by the nonexist...

(?) It was you who posted about the Mayo Phase 1 study, not me. I agree that it is a grab-bag of incompatible data and that we aren't even allowed to see the follow-up data... that's been my complaint about the whole affair for years. Trying to use it, or Tefferi, to pump Geron, is totally out of da...

HI Andrew. I keep getting posts bounced with comments about "illegal or pirated software"... what does that mean? I'm no hacker. TIA
Good luck on the upcoming AA meeting. Let's hope the FDA at least doesn't make things worse.

Re: If you are looking for the new shareholders letter
It's true that improperly done transfusions "can" have serious side effects. It's also true that parabiosis is a thing... even for older NFL ballplayers, let alone the typical 70-year-old MDS patient. Losing those transfusions will be a serious blow to many older MDS patients. This is a problem for ...

Thanks for your thoughts, Huntington.

Good points. The blood shortage is going to get worse for several months (let's not forget that this has been coming for decades... we know very well how to cryonically store blood, but it is rarely done. Hospitals just depend on last-minute begging, which doesn't work when you can't do blood drives...
