---------------------------------------------------------
Shares in skin regeneration specialist Intercytex rise 44 percent, continuing last week's rally, after drug giant Pfizer strikes a deal with University College London to develop stem cell treatments for eye conditions, an area in which Intercytex has assets.
'It underlines the potential of the technology ... people might be thinking if Pfizer is looking at this then maybe some other company may want to buy the Intercytex assets,' says analyst Jacob Plieth at Edison Investment Research.
