  • Cellceutix Corporation: The Next Generation Of Cancer Treatment Has Arrived [View article]
    Try this link:

    Anyhow, you notice that there are proteins downstream from p53 (Bax, Bak, etc.). Any mutation there and the p53 recovery becomes meaningless. Cancer cells typically have MANY mutations in various control elements and the cancer stem cells mutate fast. Cancer frequently becomes resistant to a certain treatment. There are some other posts pointing this out.

    I just pointed out the articles was hyped. I agree with you that p53 is important but other stuff too.

  • Volatile/well-shorted solar stocks are ripping higher (TAN +5.4%) to close out a week in which the EU imposed long-expected tariffs on Chinese solar panel imports. TSL +10%. CSIQ +16.1%. STP +9.1%. SCTY +8.6%. SOL +8.3%. JASO +7.5%. FSLR +4.6%. JKS +9.4%. LDK +3.4%. SPWR +7.8% A Reuters column today notes the pace of module price declines is expected to slow, as weaker players are forced out and U.S./emerging markets demand gradually soaks up excess capacity. [View news story]
    EU is broke and has no money for that.

    Please keep stop pulling stuff of the companies website to make an argument. Do you not see that its biased?

    Anyhow: cancer is extremely complex. I agree the p53 adds to the picture in 50% of the cases, but it is NOT the sole item that needs to be restored typically. There are frequently multiple defects in the apoptosis pathway and p53 is pretty far upstream. So its naive to assume that you switch it back on it will work in these 50% of all cancers. It will help in some and that alone is great news. But this hype is really overdone. Here have a look where p53 sits and than start looking at other mutations downstream from there:

    How many cancers have a p53 mutation which inactivates it?

    Well, nice hyping up there. In reality there are many companies with quite targeted drugs that are well tolerated. While I agree that this drug is excellent, I think it is one of many options. Look into ECYT to see another most excellent company in this area (long) or how about ONCY (selective virus).

    I have published >100 papers too in various peer-reviewed journals. Not Nature or Science though but PNAS etc. Consultants are by definition a tad optimistic ;P

    I might buy some shares and just forget about them for 10 years or so. At least this company is no one trick poney. p53 activation sounds promising.

    Question: why is this ueber-company traded OTC? A little weird to me. Also: cell culture experiments are nice but a pretty bad predictor of efficient medicine. I give you that big pharma argument though but this is way early.

    Bill, why writing a complete article just to come to a mere technical conclusion? In addition, you will be wrong on the "pull back". I am not selling my LEAP calls.
