Part of that is because HIV is treatable, but not curable. HIV attacks the very cells of the immune system that should kill off the infection, and our bodies don't do a good job of fighting the virus. But, new research from the University of Colorado suggests a way we might be ...
- Scientists Are Using Targeted Light to Help the Immune System Track ...The T lymphocytes needed to kill cancer are called cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Under control of a tumor, T regulatory cells send signals that keep cytotoxic T lymphocytes from responding to cancer. Scientists believe this is why the cells put back into the patient in an adoptive cell transfer haven't worked as well on solid tumors.

- Like Peaches? Protective Virus Could Save Millions of ... - WonderHowToThe scientists put the gene for the enzyme from L1 into the Y2 phage to create a modified bacteriophage that can both dissolve the mucus and kill the bacteria. When Loessner and his team tested the new bacteriophage, they found it penetrates the slime, multiplies inside the bacteria and dissolves Erwinia infections from the inside out.
- 'Useless' Antibiotics Work When Matched Up in ThreesThe search is on to find antibiotics that will work against superbugs — bacteria that are rapidly becoming resistant to many drugs in our antibiotic arsenal. By carefully choosing antibiotics that killed bacteria in different ways, a team of researchers found that combinations of three antibiotics — ones that are ineffective against superbugs when used alone — were capable of killing ...
