According to the newsletter, Hesperidin has recently attracted the attention of researchers, because it binds to key proteins of SARS-CoV-2 1 . This may interfere with viral entry into host cells 4 .
In Wu et. al (2020 ), the screening of 1066 natural substances with potential antiviral effect, plus 78 antiviral drugs already known in the literature for their binding to SARS-CoV-2 proteins, Hesperidin was the only compound that could target the binding interface between viral Spike proteins and ACE-2 human receptors 2 .
Hesperidin can also bind to 3CLpro – the main protease responsible for the cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 peptides into functional units for virus replication and packaging within the host cells 1,3 . By doing so, it may help against COVID-19 viral replication 4 .

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos.
But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations now testing ways to:
Deliver vaccines with drones.
Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations.
Use drones to collect data.
Use drones to detect infectious conditions from a distance of 190 feet.
…… And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door.
In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)
DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:
Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
Built the first drone that saved a life
Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
Shooting down “smuggler” drone carrying 28lbs of heroin
Developing Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
And last but not least was the issuance of a delivery drone patent – which sounds like no big deal until you understand how it is a GAME CHANGER for the entire drone delivery market.
If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or are just learning, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell

When a small cap company enters into a developer and supply agreement with a technology leader in its space AND can’t name the company, that is typically a very good thing.
Understanding the world of Photonics isn’t the easiest thing small cap investors have had to understand. In fact, it may be the very hardest thing they’ve ever had to understand. However, given the fact we are the very reason current photonics devices aren’t living up to snuff trying to keep up with our surfing, streaming, binging and zooming – you start to see why understanding photonics and POET Technologies could open up investors to a whole new world.
Before watching this video, here is some important background information.
Photonic devices create, detect and manipulate light. Laser generated light is fundamental to sensing, computing, data and telecommunications, which require the fastest transfer of data possible.
This is where POET comes in.
Why? All the surfing, streaming, binging and zooming we do requires 2 things to happen:
1. Massive data centres filled with tens of thousands of servers.
2. Speed … and we mean lighting speed that requires lasers to transfer all that data fast enough for you not to complain about 2 second latency when searching for weight-loss programs for your New Year’s resolution (We see you).
Examples of the the biggest trends sucking up all that power and speed in computing today:
Cloud Computing
Artificial Intelligence
5G and Edge
HERE IS THE PROBLEM
Making photonics devices that are reliable is expensive in terms of both capital and labor. Unlike almost every electronic device or component on this planet that has seen their costs drop dramatically over time, photonics cost declines have not kept up with Moore’s Law, with most photonics devices built one at a time. (NOT A TYPO).
The Result? Integration of components at wafer-scale has not been fully implemented even by the largest companies working for the past 20 years ….. UNTIL NOW
POET has developed a unique, disruptive and differentiating new entry into photonics markets – The POET Optical Interposer™ Platform. Don’t worry if that sounds like a mouthful. All you have to know is that it
Enables lower cost
Delivers higher performance
Across a wide range of applications like those mentioned above
Today’s press release announcing its entry into the “Artificial Intelligence Market with Technology Leader in Photonic Computing” serves as great 3rd party validation that POET Technologies can open up the AI market for its Optical Interposer Platform.
Watch this great interview with:
Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO
Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager
Thomas Mika, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Entered into development and supply agreements with a technology leader in photonic neural network systems for Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
Artificial Intelligence, at the cusp of its own revolutionary impact to humanity, is driving an unprecedented demand for computation at the same time that the physics of digital semiconductors, driven by Moore’s law, is reaching its end.
Chipset market for AI applications is projected to grow from approximately $18 billion in 2020 to over $65 billion by 2025.
TORONTO, Jan. 06, 2021 — POET Technologies Inc. (“ POET ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX Venture: PTK; OTCQX: POETF), the designer and developer of the POET Optical Interposer and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for the data center and tele-communication markets, today announced that it has entered into development and supply agreements with a technology leader in photonic neural network systems for Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
Artificial Intelligence, at the cusp of its own revolutionary impact to humanity, is driving an unprecedented demand for computation at the same time that the physics of digital semiconductors, driven by Moore’s law, is reaching its end. Transistor scaling is approaching its limits and AI accelerator companies are struggling to keep pace with demands, particularly in “edge” applications that require greater power and cost efficiency. Domain-specific architectures targeted to AI workloads can make up for some of the slowdown in transistor advances but that approach also has its limits.
