I remember reading up on this some years ago. At the time they were trying to isolate the protein so they could figure out how to produce it in quantity. I hadn't heard any updates and assumed it had been a dry hole. I'm hoping that this is a sign that this may still be a viable treatment option some time in the future(sooner better than later) Thanks for putting this up.

BTW, when I first read about this, I realized that the company that was developing it, Esperion Therapeutics, would get bought out at a nice price. So I resolved to keep watching the stock for a good place to buy some, after the initial run-up on the news died down.

And then I forgot all about it. Then I read that Pfizer bought them up for $1.3 billion, a 50% premium over their stock price. AAARRGGHH!!! You snooze you lose. >:-(

I'm expecting they will patent the method of production (likely several) since it's likely that they would have a hard time getting a patent on the substance. I thought about the stock play at the time too and also lost track.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, eh?
