Fellow BTIM Friends,

 

I just took these 2 items from the Yahoo BTIM Message board.

 

 ESI has already made about a Million on NIH sales for just 6 stem cell lines. Now BTIM owns ESI and now has a total of 34 lines with up to a hundred or so more in the works. Sounds rather promising to me Sports Fans.
