Change I Can Believe In- Stem Cells Kill HIV

Advocate: Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, made a stunning announcement Monday: Stem cells can be engineered to kill HIV. The results, published Monday in the online journal PLoS ONE, demonstrate that human stem cells can be engineered into the equivalent of a genetic vaccine. "We have demonstrated in this proof-of-principle study that this type of approach can be used to engineer the human immune system, particularly the T-cell response, to specifically target HIV-infected cells," lead investigator Scott Kitchen, assistant professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the Devid Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, said in a release. "These studies lay the foundation for further therapeutic development that involves restoring damaged or defective immune responses toward a variety of viruses that cause chronic disease, or even different types of tumors."

What Do the Dems Not Get

Atrios : Hoovering The best hope is that this is mostly about selling future deficit reductions rather than anything near term. I do not know why Dems think people really care about the deficit. They don't. In bad times it's just something "bad" they project their anxieties onto, but they don't care. Though, in the spirit of cooperation, I will offer up my suggestions for deficit: cancel a couple wars. It's as if we have an entire leadership made up of men and women who never learned a thing about the Great Depression... I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Top Al-Qaida Leader Killed

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy For all the nonsense from the right wing questioning President Obama's manhood and fortitude, he has so far delivered on more of his machismo promises than his predecessor. He has moved troops out of Iraq, refocused attention to Afghanistan and when tested he has done what he had to do . Not bad for a terrorist sympathizer.... Of course Bush got the big fish his daddy couldn't catch , but it turned out that was all based on false pretenses anyway. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message ( h/t GottaLaff)
