There isn’t enough information in the linked article to say how unique or important these particular cells are or how difficult they would be to replicate. On the more valuable end could be cells provided by a company for testing (maybe tra

IIRC Logitech used to do this with warranty replacements on Harmony remotes—don’t know if they still do. It made purchasing one used risky.

You don’t need a PhD, but it helps. If you want to have a decent shot at getting funding from biotech VCs, the team overall needs experience in biotech AND startups, and the less experience the founder has in biotech the more the team will

I both appreciate the pointer and the suggestion. Thank you. The suggestion was sadly too long by 6. I’ve gone with “Congress asks if developing slightly fewer medicines is OK if it lowers prices”.

ABS yes, but it’s a Bosch mechanical pump. There’s a reason for the manual stop lever on it! There is an “electronic diesel system” that feeds into the ALDA system, but the car will run without ALDA. I don’t think the 300D had EDS though.

Fine. Where did BASF get their money from? How much, in your esteemed opinion, should it cost to develop a therapeutic Ab from a drugable target? How should my industry pay for pipeline failures?
