Comment The article was basically written in this edit on April 15, 2014 [6]

Concern is that this content "acquisition which includes Geron’s entire cell therapy intellectual property portfolio, contracts and license agreements related to their stem cell programs, product candidates previously in clinical trials such as OPC1 (hESC-derived oligodendrocyte progenitors for the treatment of spinal cord injury) and VAC1 (dendritic cells loaded with human telomerase to direct the immune system of cancer patients to recognize and potentially destroy a wide array of human cancer types), master cell banks of hESCs and therapeutic cells manufactured under cGMP conditions, research cell banks, customized reagents and equipment, and banks of cGMP-manufactured OPC1 product used in the aforementioned Phase 1 trial in spinal cord injury, the world’s first human clinical trial of hESC-derived cells." is exactly the same as that found here [7]

Here is what the page looked like in Mar of 2014 before this edit [8]

Looks like copyright infringement to me. Likely this article was paid for and cobbled together from press releases. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:52, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
