      StemCells, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

      SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov 14, 2000 (BW HealthWire) -- StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:
      STEM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30,
      2000. Net loss for the third quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.13 per share,
      compared with a net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.36 per share, in the same
      quarter in 1999. The change was primarily due to the restructuring of the
      Company that began a year ago, including the reduction in staff, change in focus
      of research and development, and move from Rhode Island to Sunnyvale,
      California. The Company had no revenues from collaborative relationships, in
      either the three months ended Sept 30, 2000 or the same period in 1999.

      For the three months ended September 30, 2000, research and development expenses
      were $1.1 million, down $446,932 or 28% from the comparable quarter last year.
      General and administrative expenses were $840,490, down $186,867 or 18% for the
      same quarter in 1999. The changes were primarily due to the Company`s
      restructuring. Wind-down expenses related to our ECT research and relocation of
      our corporate headquarters from Rhode Island to Sunnyvale, California for the
      three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $574,317 and $4,078,034
      respectively. The $574,317 was in addition to a reserve of $1,934,569 created in
      the fourth quarter of 1999 for wind-down expenses related to the first half of
      year 2000.

      Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $7.2 million on
      September 30, 2000 compared to $6.3 million on September 30, 1999. Stockholders
      equity as of September 30, 2000 was $37.5 million. The increase of approximately
      $9.5 million from the previous quarter reflects an $8 million increase in the
      value of its ownership of Modex Therapeutics common stock, the $5.0 million sale
      of StemCells common stock to Millennium Partners, L.P. less $1.25 million stock
      subscription receivable and $0.25 million issuance cost, plus the
      exercise/valuation of stock options of $0.5 million and offset by an operating
      loss of $2.5 million. The value of the Company`s holding of Modex Therapeutics,
      however, was approximately $7.5 million less on November 13, 2000 than on
      September 30, when it was valued for the purposes of the quarterly report. This
      was primarily due to the decline in the price of the stock from 372 Swiss Francs
      per share on September 30 to 275 Swiss Francs per share on November 13.

      StemCells is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of
      stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases of the central nervous system,
      pancreas, and liver. The Company`s stem cell programs seek to repair or
      repopulate neural, pancreatic, and liver tissue that has been damaged or lost as
      a result of disease or injury. On May 23, 2000 the name of the Company was
      changed to StemCells, Inc. from CytoTherapeutics, Inc., by vote of the
      shareholders at the Company`s Annual Meeting.

      Statements in this press release, other than statements of historical fact,
      constitute forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the future
      business operations of StemCells, Inc. The Company`s actual results may vary
      materially from those contemplated in the forward looking statements due to
      risks and uncertainties to which the Company is subject, including uncertainties
      regarding the Company`s ability to obtain the capital resources needed to
      conduct the research, preclinical development and clinical trials necessary to
      develop products and obtain regulatory approvals; the fact that the Company`s
      stem cell technology is at the preclinical stage and has not yet led to the
      development of any proposed product; the future market value of its stock
      holdings in Modex; uncertainties regarding the Company`s continuing obligations
      in regard to its former Rhode Island facilities, the uncertainty whether the
      Company will achieve revenues from product sales or become profitable; and
      others that are described in Exhibit 99 to the Company`s Annual Report on Form
      10-K , as amended, entitled "Cautionary Factors Relevant to Forward Looking

      Hi,

      Stemcells hatte ich schon im Januar 2000 im Depot und dann glücklicherweise für 18 € verkauft. Wunderbar.

      Bin jetzt aber wieder eingestiegen und warte auf neue Kurssteigerungen.

      Potential hat die Aktie auf jeden Fall.

      Dafür braucht man nicht dieses dumme Geschwätz der Telebörse, auch wenn sie 100% verspricht !

      U.S. scientists craft mouse with human brain cells
      By Andrew Quinn

      SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - U.S. researchers have produced laboratory mice with human brain cells, marking a potential step toward developing treatments for human brain disease like Alzheimer`s but promising to fuel fresh debate over the evolving ethics of bioengineering.

      The research at California biotechnology company StemCells Inc (NasdaqNM:STEM - news). breaks new ground by demonstrating that human brain stem cells can be induced to grow within a mouse`s skull, scientists said on Friday.

      ``We are not recreating a human brain. We`re really just trying to understand how these stem cells can function, and how they can be used in the treatment of specific diseases,`` said Ann Tsukamoto, vice president of scientific operations at StemCells Inc.

      Irving Weissman, a Stanford university professor involved in the two-year research project, said the next step could be to produce mice with brains made up almost entirely of human cells -- although he said there would have to be a thorough ethical review before this step is taken.

      ``You would want to ask the ethicist what percentage of the brain would be human cells before you start worrying, and if you start worrying, what would you start worrying about,`` Weissman said.

      The California study involved isolating human stem cells in the laboratory and then introducing them into mice. As the mice matured, the human stem cells -- ``master cells`` that can develop into any other type of cell -- grew into a full range of specialized cells throughout each mouse brain.

      ``It looks like human cells can follow the developmental instructions put in by the mouse brain. They are making human components in what is clearly a mouse brain,`` Weissman said.

      The researchers believe that these mice could be used to test treatments for human brain diseases such as Parkinsons and Alzheimer`s, although these tests have not yet been undertaken.

      Tsukamoto added that the experiment also demonstrated that StemCell Inc`s process for isolating and developing human stem cells was viable, and that cell banks could be established for future transplantation into humans.

      ``We`re of course moving this into the development phase, and looking at which disease indications these cells would be best used for in preclinical trials,`` she said.

      Both scientists stressed that their research, while marking a new breakthrough in the controversial world of stem cell research, was in no way aimed at blurring the lines between human and animal.

      But Weissman added that he had already requested a review panel to look at the research to determine if there may be ethical problems in taking the work further.

      ``It is not not the objective to go make mice with human brains,`` Weissman said. ``(But) it is in the domain of the ethicists, not the experimenters, to figure out what our limits are.``

      Hier nochmal ein interessanter Artikel über Stemcells:

      Wissenschaft / US-Erfolg bei Mäusen


      Hirnzellen verpflanzt
      US-Forscher haben erstmals Mäuse mit menschlichen Hirnzellen gezüchtet. Sie wollen an den Tieren Mittel gegen Nervenleiden wie Alzheimer untersuchen.
      New York· Die Biotech-Firma Stemcells Inc. in Sunnyvale (Kalifornien) teilte gestern via Internet mit, dass Mäusen menschliche Stammzellen ins Hirn gepflanzt worden seien, die dort die Funktion von Hirnzellen übernahmen.

      Obwohl erst seit drei Jahren bekannt, sind Stammzellen die Hoffnung von Ärzten und Patienten in aller Welt. Forscher glauben, mit diesem Zelltyp einmal gegen Nervenkrankheiten und organische Leiden wie Herz- und Nierenversagen angehen zu können. Manche hoffen, dass Stammzellen selbst Querschnittsgelähmten wieder auf die Beine helfen können.

      Die kalifornische Studie, an der auch Forscher der angesehenen Stanford Universität in Palo Alto beteiligt waren, beobachtete den Werdegang der transplantierten Stammzellen im Hirn von Mäusen. Nach Angaben des Unternehmens entwickelten sie sich zu einer Palette spezialisierter Hirnzellen.

      Die Wissenschaftler betonen, dass sie mit ihrer Forschung einzig und allein nach Therapien gegen Nervenleiden wie Alzheimer suchen. Das Unternehmen will von einer unabhängigen Kommission die ethische Rechtmäßigkeit seiner Versuche prüfen lassen.

      StemCells, Inc. Announces Move to Expanded Facilities, Board Changes

      SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 26, 2001 (BW HealthWire) -- StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:
      STEM) announced today that the Company has entered a 5-year lease for a 40,000
      square foot facility in a strategic investment to accelerate growth in stem cell
      research and development. The state of the art facility, located in the Stanford
      Research Park in Palo Alto, CA, includes extensive vivarium space as well as
      laboratories, offices, and a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) suite,
      signifying that the facility can be used to manufacture materials for clinical
      trials. The new facility will better enable the Company to achieve its goal of
      utilizing genetically unmodified human stem cells for the treatment of disorders
      of the nervous system, liver, and pancreas.

      "Our expanding endeavors require more space for both research and development,"
      said Martin McGlynn, President and CEO of StemCells, Inc. "Our research programs
      in neural and liver stem cells are growing, and we will now be able to bring our
      pancreatic stem cell program in house, rather than relying solely on
      collaborative work performed elsewhere. As the Company progresses toward the
      development phase of our neural program, the GMP suite, which is suitable for
      process development and pilot scale manufacturing of stem cells, will be
      invaluable."

      The Company also announced that McGlynn, who became President and CEO of
      StemCells, Inc. on January 15, 2001, has been appointed to the Company`s Board
      of Directors as of February 6, 2001. "We welcome Martin to the Board of
      Directors," commented John Schwartz, Chairman of the Board. "His strong
      management experience in executive positions in the pharmaceutical industry
      enhances the Board`s composition, and will benefit the Company and the
      shareholders."

      StemCells Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development
      and commercialization of stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases of the
      central nervous system, liver, and pancreas. The Company`s stem cell programs

      StemCells, Inc. Announces Receipt of NIH Funding

      SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--March 1, 2001--StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq: STEM - news) announced that it has been awarded a two year, $300,000 per year grant from the NIH`s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) office.

      ``We are delighted to receive this funding, which will fund further work in our liver stem cell program,`` commented Martin McGlynn, President and CEO of StemCells, Inc. StemCells Inc. has been focused on identifying human liver stem and progenitor cells as a potential cell based therapeutic in the area of liver disease. As part of this work, scientists at the Company have identified conditions that allow an early liver cell to grow in culture. In collaboration with virologist Dr. Jeffrey Glenn, at Stanford University, they have also shown that these cells can be infected by a human hepatitis virus.

      The aim of the SBIR grant is to further characterize the human cells that can be infected by the virus. In addition, they hope to develop a small animal model using these cells that can be infected by human hepatitis viruses to develop assays for the disease, which is a growing public health problem in the United States. ``Such an animal model could lead to the discovery and testing of better therapeutics for the detection, treatment, or prevention of this prevalent infectious agent,`` commented Eric Lagasse, Director of Liver Cell Research at StemCells, Inc. Hepatitis C is the most common blood-borne infection in the US, affecting over 4 million people. Currently there are no vaccines or drugs that specifically target the hepatitis C virus.

      StemCells Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases of the central nervous system, liver, and pancreas. The Company`s stem cell programs seek to repair or repopulate neural or other tissue that has been damaged or lost as a result of disease or injury.

      @ Danke Flotsam... (habe ich auch mal gerne gehört) für die schnelle Reinnahme der Meldung.

      Wichtiger m.E. als die Mittel von über 1,2 Mio. ist auch noch mal der Hinweis über den dramatischen Anstieg von Hepatitis-Fällen und damit die Wichtigkeit der Forschungsarbeit von Stem Cells.

      Gruß an alle Stemmies,

      Ob das sinnvoll ist, die Stemmless zu diesem Kurs zu kaufen. Ich hatte sie mal vor 9 Monaten zu 4,80 und dann für 12 verkauft.
      Nehme gerne Deine Meinung unter meiner e-mal auf: helgaschulz@freenet.de

      Danke!!! Müßte natürlich nmoch heute sien. Es kommt im TV eine Meldung (heute), habe sie leider nicht richtig hören können.

      Hi, hatte stem letztes jahr im august/september, hab nen ganz guten riss gemacht, war bei 4,51 rein und bei 8 wieder raus. hab sie die ganze zeit auf der watchlist. wie viele schon schrieben, ist die aktie ein gutes langfristinvest, aber zur zeit eher finger weg. erst wenn sich wieder alles beruigt hat.

      Hi.

      Meiner Meinung nach kann man mit einem Kauf derzeit nicht viel verkehrt machen. Billiger kanns eigentlich kaum noch werden und auch der Chart schreit geradezu nach einer Gegenreaktion. Meine Vermutung ist ohnehin, daß die Biotechs von einer (hoffentlich baldigen!) Nasdaqerholung überproportional partizipieren werden. Hier ist einfach mal noch einiges mehr an Fantasie drin, als an den scheinbar nie proftiabel werdenden Internetwerten. Und daß die Stemmis hier eher markteng sind... naja, das muß ja kein Nachteil sein. ;)

      Bin jedenfalls ab heute mit 2,10 dabei. (Allerdings die Shares in Frankfurt, 889118)

      Bye,
