More and more good news, one day this desease would be a history. There has been a breakthrough in HIV fighting where scientists have found that stem cells could fight HIV. The trial involves the isolation of genes that curb the HIV spread in the body, the introduction of these genes onto human stem cells then the transplantation of the stem cells into patient's bone marrow.
This achievement came after the first human trial where by five lymphoma patients undergoing bone marrow replacement were given anti-HIV stem cells as part of treatment. The stems cells were able to grow and produce new white blood cells that could fight HIV.
HIV, which is a sexually-transmitted infection, attacks white blood cells known as T-lymphocytes, which play a central role in the immune system by fighting other forms of infection.
