TEST TUBE ORGANS from induced human pluripotent cells (iPS) are now fully possible. So are human clones. GAME CHANGER. http://lnkd.in/pB5Ksy? View in LinkedIn

STARTUP WOES can start early and this article goes through some (but not all) of them: unreproducible science; founder-itis; bad boards; founding syndicates; cumbersome agreements; undercapitalization.

INFOGRAPHIC DASHBOARD of patient health status is brilliant, useful for clinicians as well as patients alike on our new increasingly patient-collaborative health model.

BIOLOGICAL DRUGS will be at least 50% of new drug approvals in coming years. Small molecule drugs are having a tough time keeping up with this tsunami of very effective monoclonals. Those Pharma groups that have been slow to enter this brave new age of biologicals can only catch up by acquisition. And that will be costly. http://lnkd.in/q5xemV View in LinkedIn
