Update on BioTime: Providing Stem Cells to California Researchers and Telomerase Reverses Aging in Mice

By Patrick CoxPosted November 30, 2010

It's been another big week in the annals of regenerative medicine. BioTime (AMEX: BTX) announced an agreement I believe will make its cell lines the "Intel Inside" for the huge community of California stem cell researchers. Additionally, Nature magazine has published the results of a study showing that aged rats, lacking the telomerase gene, experience a reversal of the aging process when telomerase is restored.

A Company With a Core Team That Increased Value 100,000% in 7 Years

Since my last weekly alert, Hurricane Ike passed Florida to wreak havoc in Texas. One of the odd characteristics of living in Florida, especially South Florida, is a regular and vague sense of guilt for hoping storms hit somebody else.

The Hope and Promise of Managing Mother Nature

By Stephen PetranekPosted November 19, 2013

When it comes to breakthrough technologies, messing around with molecules is the cutting edge of advancements that will make our lives better. Part of this world is based in nanotechnology, managing atoms and molecules at the quantum scale to build materials that cannot be found naturally, from making new computer chips to producing energy. The other part of this world is “wet,” based in biology. Someday, these two worlds will merge and you may need to add water instead of electricity to the inside of your computer to keep your biochips thriving. But for now, as exciting as the hardware of nanotechnology is, the biological side is where more life-changing progress is being made.

BioTime, Star Scientific and NanoViricides Progress Reports

The virtue most required for successful investing is the rarest these days. That virtue, of course, is patience, and it is best illustrated by the model of successful innovation investors, John Templeton. I think, however, that Templeton's circumstances made the virtue of patience far easier to practice. As you know, Templeton borrowed $10,000 in 1939, more than $150,000 in current dollars, and bought every stock trading below $1 on the New York and American stock exchanges. He then went off to war just as Hitler launched his assault on Europe. Templeton had no choice but to ignore his portfolio, which contained mostly innovation startups, until after the war. Then, when the war ended and he was able to get stock market news on a regular basis again, he discovered that he had quadrupled his money.
