Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient' by Omenani(m): 2:50am On Dec 15, 2010 |
Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient' On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure. Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved." Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells. Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent. While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/14/hiv-cure-berlin-patient_n_796521.html#fb |

Omenani: texazzpete: udezue: i dey laugh kai now let me show u the power of God, by the way i did not research on it. Now, stem cells are cells found in an embryo at the early stage of development since they are not yet specialised, also can be found in adults, in parts of the body like the bone marrow of long bones eg fibula this cells have special properties that allow them to specialise to the cells around it eg if a stem cell is placed near udezue's tiny brain, the cell will multiply to make his brain larger, thus making more cells to store more information this stem cells are not meant to fight micro-organism unless it has been specialised to do so eg if it is grown in a culture of bacterial killing fungus, this cells will then specialise to kill the same fungus the bacteria us to kill for example if omenani gives texazzpete fungus from his peni5 to his mouth, texazzpete can then use this specialised stem cells to kill this fungus. but there is known bacteria or micro-organism that kills HIV/Aids yet and that this why i asked the question my igbo brothers 1 Like |

Na wa oh!, there will be more prostitutes on the street now!, they would have done better saying it keeps patients alive forever, fear of death by HIV is the begining of sexual carefulness in the human world. |
