Dr. West will also discuss for the first time data relating to progenitor cell 
lines, produced using BioTime's ACTCellerateT technology, that exhibit markers 
for becoming cartilage cells. Embryonic progenitor cells that produce cartilage 
might have a use in the development of treatments for orthopaedic diseases such 
as arthritis and degenerative diseases of the spine. Dr. West's presentation 
will be available online at http://www.biotimeinc.com/ on May 13, 2009.

I do wonder when this will result in treatments being available in local 
surgeries, though. It may be decades away, which will be unlucky for some 
listening to the May 13th webcast. Lets hope not.
