There were new developments over the past week in some big ongoing stories.<\/p>\n

—Histogen<\/strong> CEO Gail Naughton told Bruce the San Diego-based biotech expects to report results from a one-year follow-up of study of its experimental baldness treatment by the end of this month<\/a>. Histogen plans additional clinical studies on volunteers with male-pattern baldness—all of them in Asia. (Sorry, guys.)<\/p>\n

— The job market in San Diego’s life sciences industry is showing signs of, well, life. Recruiter Meredith Dow of Proven<\/strong> Inc. told me that layoffs appear to have slowed and some biotech startups are beginning to talk about hiring<\/a>. Some occupations have a brighter outlook than others, she noted.<\/p>\n

—Illumina <\/strong>(NASDAQ: ILMN<\/a>), the San Diego-based tools company, introduced a machine that can decode an individual’s genome for under $10,000<\/a> in a bid to establish the company’s leadership in the gene-sequencing business.<\/p>\n

—Sequenom<\/strong> (NASDAQ: SQNM<\/a>) agreed to pay shareholders $14 million from its insurance proceeds and issue them new shares worth a 9.95 percent stake in the company to settle a class action suit<\/a>. The settlement, which requires court approval, would resolve one problem related to what the company characterized as the mishandling of data from a clinical trial involving the company’s experimental Down syndrome test.<\/p>\n

—Crinetics Pharmaceuticals<\/strong>, a San Diego startup developing biosensors for drug discovery applications, signed a collaboration agreement with the Ferring Research Institute<\/a>, the peptide research center established in San Diego by Ferring Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
