115 added signatures since Wednesday and an in-depth article which sheds a little more light on who is benefitting from the decimation of horseshoe crabs. -Kmall

Almost forgot..... Honorable mention to several members of the YMB who are frequent readers here - Frogg and Kevin (not I-Chat member KTArsenal - Kevin), and any others there who feel this topic is worthy of our consideration. Thank you! -Kmall

As of this morning 75 "signatures" have been added to the Horseshoe crab petition to stop the use of Horseshoe crab blood - called Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) - with a readily available synthetic version already approved by the EMA - named recombinant Factor C (rFC) - for the FDA to stop using th...

75 "signatures" added to the petition in this thread since Wednesday !!!!!.....not sure if all of these came via the link here on Imetelchat, but I'm fairly certain a decent amount have. For any of those who have taken the opportunity to do so, I applaud and deeply appreciate your efforts. THANK YOU...

Ryan - perhaps "lowly" was an inappropriate term, especially considering what an important part it plays in the overall picture. You are correct, every species is an important cog in the wheel that encompass our world and it is our duty as stewards of this incredibly beautiful planet that we have be...

Nice to see we have the topic police keeping everyone in line. -Kmall

I'm pretty sure you lost that one. Consider yourself lucky this boat doesn't have wheels.

Up to 11 now......

Bp - 11 signatures added to the petition this morning.....I'd bet a dollar to a donut they came from readers of this board.

The mighty oak was once a tiny acorn. -Kmall

Bp - I don't think I could have surmised that up better if I tried. Thank you! The plight of the somewhat disregarded horseshoe crab and all species relying on it for their own survival is a prime example of where Government can actually make a difference on multiple fronts, while it continues to dr...

Jay - with all due respect, when you become moderator of this board, then you can decide the relevance of a post here. Until then perhaps you should refrain posting your sarcastic views from this forum to a topic you don't agree with. -Kmall

Jay - while I appreciate your input here on this forum, it seems like you may be slightly confused at the point in focus here. Perhaps you're not familiar with this species? It's not edible for human consumption. Several species of shorebirds depend on horseshoe crab larve for their survival. The de...

Although some readers may find this topic irrelevant on the Imetelchat board, the fact that the FDA has the ability to stop the deaths of over 300,000 animals per year, mirrors the plight many human patients endure as the FDA keeps Imetelstat from being readily available for those suffering with MDS...

Bp - Exactly.......or where's the cheese? Interesting that they hone in on targeting cancer at the end of the spot. Considering that most BP are facing patent expiration in some of their most successful revenue drivers, a biotech like Geron with a FIC drug slated for approval in the very near future...

Probably the best ad last night......great game..... halftime show.....meh?? -Kmall https://www.google.com/search?q=pfizer+super+bowl+ad+2024&oq=pfizer+su&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggBEAAYAzIGCAAQRRg5MgYIARAAGAMyEAgCEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQYigUyBggDEAAYAzIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiAB...

Bp - that's what I was thinking.

RC - not sure if this is exactly the answer you're looking for or if this pertains to your post, but Australia has it's own equivalent to the FDA known as the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration). I posted an in-depth post about the pathways to approval which are similar to the UK's MHRA. https://...

RC - tremendous find. Searching the Children's Oncology Group website - sponsor of this CT - only 4 results found containing Imetelstat dating back to 2012/2013 - "children with refractory or recurrent solid tumors." Perhaps we see a Geron PR regarding this latest study in the very new future. Thank...

RC - Interesting theory and plausible, but if the data is as good as Lane and Claudia Bruedigam have suggested, wouldn't that be a positive for MDS approval? -Kmall https://www.miragenews.com/new-discovery-unveils-potential-arsenal-against-1113703/#google_vignette "Having this extra weapon (Imetelst...

Bp - I found that AF article interesting. And how about the timing? It was down $1 today so maybe he's onto something? Most likely just some profit taking. I guess someone with a serious short position in Morphosys or long in Incyte didn't see Novartis swooping in on this.......AF = Panic Button in ...

According to AF - the Novartis/Morphosys isn't happening......
