Cure for aids
It has always been a major challenge for medical science researchers to find a cure for AIDS. SOme things scientists are trying to do it replace the normal immune cells of someone HIV positive with HIV-resistant ones. It seems researchers have succeeded in solving the mystery of curing AIDS. Recently, German doctors cured a HIV patient by conducting a bone marrow transplant (natural gene-therapy). Along with AIDS, the patient was suffering from leukemia. For treatment of both the diseases, the doctors used a bone marrow transplant from a healthy person, having natural immunity to HIV. Genetic engineering research, especially on gene therapy, is ongoing to find the cure for AIDS.
