Fate Therapeutics: FT819 Progress Keeps My Bull Case Alive

Fate Therapeutics is a bet on their off-the-shelf cell therapies, which are now mostly centered on FT819 for lupus nephritis. I believe FT819 has made good progress since the last time I covered the stock. They've reported broader autoimmune data and are now planning RECLAIM-LN. Unfortunately, I think their recent removal from the Russell 3000 index could be a near-term headwind for the stock price itself.
