It's a good flower season here in Borrego right now,
and half the world is here to enjoy it
However, this is about platelets, not flowers
This is encouraging news, and a good use of Moonshot money. Platelets are the little cellular firemen who
dash in to combat problems; they cause blood clotting. Some smart guys have figured out how to
combine platelets with immunotherapy drugs.
That way when a solid tumor is removed surgically these platelets, eager to help, surge
to the sight of the wound, and in the process cause any escaped cancer cells to
croak. Not a breakthrough, but progress.
