Cell Line Established

Another post to ACOR:

Just wanted to share great news! While we knew that the chance of establishing a new cell line was very small, we did not learn until this week from Dr. Reynolds that he only has about a 3% chance of getting neuroblastoma cells to grow! Dr. Maris told us that Los Angeles has better luck which is why it was done in LA instead of at CHOP. Now I believe it was nothing short of miraculous and I can't help but think our "mad scientist - little Christi" had a hand in this to actually work!
This morning's local newspaper has a huge article with many pictures about FU-NB2006. Although on the web there is only one pic (of Dr. Maris) below is the link to the story. We wish you all a Happy New Year and may the cure be discovered in 2007! Best wishes and much love to you all!!
