Biotech Values

Thanks for the article.

malignant cells should be ideal targets for T cells, but tumours have ways of shielding themselves from an immune attack

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v504/n7480_supp/full/504S13a.html

One such way of shielding is undoubtedly "flipped" Phosphatidylserine, However, it's not exactly known how valuable this "clocking" is to proliferation..

It's also interesting to know that Phosphatidylserine is an "invisibility cloak" for metastatic disease, but blocking it, is somehow worthless?

Cancer finds a way.. Knowing how it finds a way is not "worthless", IMO.

All the best,
John
