What I found interesting in the 10Q

In the "Research Agreements" section, we entered an agreement utilizing a "proprietary compound" while the other agreements with Buck and Miami specifically state MANF. Are we by chance researching something else other than MANF with WashU and Urano?? maybe something to do with small molecules??

Or was this agreement old.. so MANF was "top secret"
