Found a Potential Theraphy Cure HIV and Cancer

Cancer and HIV is a disease that no medicine can cure effective. That may change with the development of new therapies by scientists in Japan. Found a potential theraphy cure HIV and cancer from a study in Japan. HIV theraphy it's reported regarded as the best method because it can reduce the likelihood of rejection of the transplant.

Research on HIV therapy

The scientists at the RIKEN Center of Allergy and Immunology and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, University of Tokyo, discover how to improve the patient's immune system.
A study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell research focuses on cytotoxic T cells, the immune cells that can quickly identify the signs of an attack cancer cells.

When foreign cells, whether cells, viruses, or bacteria invade, the body actually has to make its own defense mechanism, by mobilizing immune cells to fight it. Only, this defense system is not too strong to face the disease, such as cancer and HIV. Therefore, the researchers hope to inject additional cells, the immune system can be strengthened in the fight against the two diseases.

The study involved two experiments with different targets. The experiment targets skin cancer cells, while others target HIV. The researchers were able to extract the T cells against cell disease which is then converted into the number of stem cells that can add up quickly. Stem cells that have been produced had converted back to T cells In theory, this new T cells should be stronger to fight skin cancer and HIV.

The scientists said the findings are an innovative breakthrough, but still at an early stage. It remains unclear whether the re-engineered T cells could actually fight infections that they created. In addition, the safety of this method when applied to people with cancer or HIV are also not considered.

John Burn, from the Institute of Medical Genetics at the University of Newcastle, UK, expressed concerns about the results of this study.

  "If the T cells engineered proves effective, it remains a challenge to produce a large amount, but still safe and economically," he said. "Even so, the results of this study provide real promise for a new treatment alternative when conventional therapies have failed."
