What is most telling to me about the Benitec collaboration is not only who Benitec partner with in their gene silencing programs but that Benitec are an Australian company with considerable experience in maneuvering through governmental regulations for trials & treatments. Who, by the way, are not nearly as complicated to contend with as the US FDA. Then, few are, IMHO.
I have said it before and I will say it again, just because BMSN are an American company they are not prohibited from testing & marketing their treatments outside the US. They are posturing themselves on providing to markets worldwide. Worldwide markets are liking what they see in BMSN.
