A new study from Tel Aviv University proposes a novel AIDS treatment that could be turned into a vaccine or a one-time treatment for HIV patients. The research explored modifying type B white blood cells in the patient’s body to release anti-HIV antibodies in response to the virus. Dr. Adi Barzel and Ph.D. student Alessio Nehmad led the study, which was conducted in partnership with the Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov), the George S. Wise department of life sciences, and the Dotan Center for Advanced Therapies. The study was carried out in cooperation with other researchers from Israel and the United States. The findings were published recently in the renowned journal Nature Biotechnology.
HIV cure is on the horizon. Sioni ata 5 years ikiisha kabla ya kupata cure … but, we know very well the glutinous pharmaceuticals cannot let such money making machine fall just like that. So watu wajitayarishe tena juu kutokea magonjwa funny funny
guys let’s not get too excited over nothing, as far as early 1990’s, researchers were talking about HIV/AIDS cure, hapa nyumbani we had the likes of Dr. Arthur Obel he who of Pearl Omega, Dr. Davy Koech from KARI give us Kemron, there was another jungu Dr, who went by the name Stone, had some very painful treatment , that induced oxygen in the blood stream of patients, and here we are, no cure yet.
let’s wait for these drugs to land in our hospitals, the way we have ARV’s then we can get excited.
It’s a study, it needs to be approved for a trial, phase 1 for animals takes years and needs to be successful , phase 2 for humans takes even longer and phase 3. Still a bit far but who knows?
I doubt if the cure is in the horizon. However, I think big pharma will manufacture drugs that enable patients to live normal lives. Making the virus harmless is almost as important as discovering a cure. Maybe they can develop drugs that are easy to adhere to e.g one injection/pill per year or something.
The problem with HIV is that it attaches it’s self to the T cells that protect the body against infections. Secondly it gets into cell nucleous where it assimilate it’s self to the cell DNA. So any drug that destroys the virus also destroys the T cell because the Virus copies the DNA of the cell.
Vaccine inakuja soon in the form of an mRNA jab. Sasa nyinyi dindus and dumb whites mmekuwa mkipush conspiracy theories za ujinga mtajificha wapi? The future is RNA + CRISPR. Nyinyi ngojeni handouts as usual, morons!
Wasn’t the working mechanism for Kemron almost similar to that of AZT ? , Which was a failed cancer drug ?
Remember back then, folks on AZT used to die due to liver toxicity.
