:NNBP) ("Nanobac" or "the Company") announced the publication of "Lithogenesis: induction of renal calcifications by nanobacteria" by Shiekh, et. al. in Urological Research (Volume 34, Number 1, Pages 53-57, 2006). As part of their experiments, rats were injected with nanobacteria. After 8 weeks the kidneys were found to have chronic inflammation and nanobacterial calcified Calcified
