Great news from #SKIN / #MWG / #AVCT: Affimers and Aptamers have been successfully incorporated into MWG's wastewater detection system for #COVID19, "Microtox PD".
Full beta testing to being shortly - commercial launch pencilled in for "early 2021".
Microtox PD could... 1/3
...ultimately become a major tool in the war against the #COVID19 pandemic.
Moreover, #SKIN has today announced a second #COVID19 diagnostics product: Microtox BT, a real-time breath analyser. Prototype built, "extensive internal testing" completed, more advanced trials now. 2/3
Microtox BT (if proved viable) could be launched start of 2021.
It's easy to see how the commercial opp. for each product is vast. I no longer hold #SKIN, but as an #AVCT shareholder - whose Affimers are used in both products - I am extremely excited by today's news.

There are many stale holders who have been underwater for 18+ months, who will be happy to take some cash out now, in this ongoing cost of living crisis. That is understandable.
There will also be traders exiting, having positioned for this update.
Furthermore, the...

...wider investment community has not yet heard of, and even more so not appreciated the significance of, today's news at #AVCT.
Finally, I will state with a high degree of confidence that today's RNS opens the floodgates for numerous more updates in the near future.
Volume returning really nicely to the small cap space, which is creating excellent trading conditions.
My average holding period in the Short-term Trading Portfolio is still around 16 sessions / 3 weeks.
Seemingly contrary to many, I consider trade entries based both on..

@AnEarlofWisdom Hi Earl, I can't see any of the posts, as I'm blocked by those accounts (or I've blocked!), but I've been told there's a lot of scaremongering about various things:
1) Delay in trial; 2) Dox not activating much in TME; 3) Low cash balance, and thus possible placing coming.

@AnEarlofWisdom On the contrary, except for Cohorts 1 and 2 taking longer than expected (due to patient withdrawals - nothing whatsoever to do with #AVA6000 itself), #AVCT's progress in 2022 could not be stronger.
The DE to 200mg/m2 was the ultimate target, so that nullifies point 2) ⬆️.

@AnEarlofWisdom Licensing deals for targeted oncology drugs - even those at pre-clinical stage, like 3996 - have been monstrous in recent times (e.g. $100m cash upfront for an antibody-drug conjugate, just last month ⬇️).
...substrate to FAP is so high that the concentration ratio of active doxorubicin in the tumour : healthy tissue, will negate the requirement for increase in dose size. [My view!]
Enough dox is already becoming active in the tumour micro-environment, at the current...

$SGEN specializes in antibody-drug conjugates ('ADC') - a relatively novel form of targeted cancer treatment.
@avacta's targeted cancer treatment platform, preCISION, has the real potential of generating pro-chemotherapies that are MORE targeted than ADCs, and thus...

...also potentially capable of delivering a more potent drug payload.
#AVCT will be announcing the results of the first preCISION prodrug P1 trial (AVA6000) in the next few months.
Success will mean the platform could be used to modify many other existing chemotherapies.
