Not-so-new news. Ostensibly Takeda is building a new R&D facility in Lake Forest IL, but there haven't been any reports what is going on with that. You'd think they have money to burn with a bunch of autism quacks hyping the use of Lupron and Lupron Depot as a treatment, but who knows? Maybe the high yen is part of it...
Old news.... this has already been done as of June 15th!
