'For the U.S. companies, the main one is Geron, and even when you look at when the initial news came out, it affected the stock negatively a little bit,' Geoffrey Seiler, editor/analyst of the Bull Market Report, told UPI. 'But I don`t think this latest announcement will affect them either positively or negatively,' Seiler added.
The reason is that Geron, as Bull Market noted in a report released this week, has had some big breakthroughs in the preclinical arena, using stem cell-based therapies to restore the ability to walk in paralyzed rats and repair damaged rat hearts.
However, the Korean scandal 'might have an impact on some of the smaller companies, like Advanced Cell Technology,' Seiler said.Some of the companies are so small 'that any news in the field, traders can get in and affect them one way or another,' he said.
