@JackWestMD @n8pennell Peregrine Pharmaceuticals Bavituximab PS Targeting will have an announcement next month. Good and true @PPHM

An announcement next month? Or, is this just a dig at Dr West?

Bio, Thanks for your response and all you do. I am a fan and read all your posts.

"The Immune System and Lung Cancer", so I thought it was relevant and to be honest..... it could have read "Graphene Quantum Dots" and I'd probably still be interested.

... where oh where does PS Targeting end. Maybe it has infinite possibilities from cancer and beyond.

In vitro uptake of apoptotic body mimicking phosphatidylserine-quantum dot micelles by monocytic cell line

A new quantum dot (QD) PEGylated micelle laced with phosphatidylserine (PS) for specific scavenger receptor-mediated uptake by macrophages is reported. The size and surface chemistry of PS-QD micelles were characterized by standard methods and the effects of their physicochemical properties on specific targeting and uptake were comprehensively studied in a monocytic cell line (J774A.1).

Graphene quantum dots split Cooper pairs

...
..
Superconducting "Cooper pairs" of electrons have been split to create entangled pairs of electrons in a new device built by physicists in Finland and Russia. The device employs two quantum dots made of graphene. Although other types of quantum dots have been used for this purpose, the latest research suggests that graphene quantum dots should deliver long-lived entangled electron pairs that could be used in quantum computers.

..
The latest work, carried out by Pertti Hakonen and colleagues at Aalto University in Finland together with Gordey Lesovik of the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics near Moscow, instead uses quantum dots made from graphene. Graphene should be able to preserve the entanglement of the separated electron pair for longer, thanks to the fact that it consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, which constrains the electrons to move in a straight line and so avoids the emission of electromagnetic radiation that interferes with the spin state.
