What great Shel Silverstein quote....anything can happen! This transplant news was unheard of yesterday...and here we are today. What hope! Same with this news today:
The CF Foundation announced today it has awarded a $1.25 million milestone payment to EPIX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:EPIX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel therapeutics. This milestone marks <b>successful completion of the development of a validated model of a full-length Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) ion channel protein.</b> A mutation in the CFTR gene that codes for this channel is one of the key factors that ultimately lead to the symptoms, complications and premature mortality in people with CF.
