Thanks Ron,

It's fascinating and so logical. They did ask about the blood brain barrier at the FOX keynote q & a at BIOS. Nothing we already didn't learn here yet. It's mostly discussed in terms of getting around it but Dr. Eugene Johnston, FOX lead scientist, did say -'we have to remember that the blood barrier is our friend too.' I guess I was among people familiar with what that meant; it was rather abstract. More work to be done with the BBB research as you know.

Dr. Johnston as an item of interest is one of the developers of neurturin, the replacement of GDNF in many locations. The Ceregene trial is of great interest to him.

Those questions were sent into the FOX site in advance of the conference - you could submit them up to a certain date before the conference. It had to be chosen from many.
