hiv researchers solve key puzzle after 20 years of trying
HIV is such a deadly virus that doesn't have a cure to stop it. Scientists have been working for years and years to try and find an antidote, but have not been successful. After 20 years now the researchers, from Imperial College London and Harvard University have discover a crystal that may potentially block the process of pasting its genetic information into the persons DNA. These scientists are extremely confident that this crystal will counter act the virus. They are currently still trying to create more amounts of this crystal to be able to test it out. Also they are still testing all different other crystals to see if any other ones will have the same effect.

I think it is very interesting that researchers are still working so hard to find a cure for this unstopplable disease.I was actually reading this blog before I did my own. They are hoping these crystals can help destory the part of the virus that attaches to the DNA and hopefully it actually works.
ReplyDeleteIts great that were making strides to a cure. personally im tired of pharmaceutical companies cashing in on allowing people to live with incurable diseases, and buy pills they have to take for the rest of thier lives. People don't want to live with illness. More efforts tward cures need to be made. I'm glad these crystals show promise for a cure
ReplyDeleteThis is great news. Hopefully in the near future more information will be unlocked and we can finally have a real cure that will work. I'm very interested to see what will happen next and what new info will be found.
