"PRIMORDIA" A NEW DRUG FOR CELL AGING FROM GERON?!

[Doug Hosack]

Judging from its name, Primordia is probably associated with the work of Dr.
James A. Thomson of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, or Dr. John
Gearhart and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Last November, the news revealed that Geron holds the patents on the human
primordial stem cells created by these guys.  I doubt it has anything to do
with telomerase.
