"The study, published April 12 in the journal PLoS Pathogens, demonstrates for the first time that engineering stem cells to form immune cells that target HIV is effective in suppressing the virus in living tissues in an animal model, said lead investigator Scott G. Kitchen, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a member of the UCLA AIDS Institute. "We believe that this study lays the groundwork for the potential use of this type of an approach in combating HIV infection in infected individuals, in hopes of eradicating the virus from the body," he said."

AIDS was the best and most effective birth control in the history of man.

Everyone was rapping their shit there during the 80s and 90s.

Now people are just back to raw dogging it and getting knocked up with kids they can't afford or never wanted.

This handout picture taken on April 13, 2012 and released by the Tsuji Lab Research Institute for Science and Technology of the Tokyo University of Science shows a hairless mouse with black hair on its back at the laboratory in Noda, Chiba Prefecture. Japanese researchers led by professor Takashi Tsuji from Tokyo University of Science, successfully grown hair on hairless mice by implanting follicles created from stem cells, they announced on April 18, 2012 sparking new hopes of a cure for baldness.

Its okay man, you can make new threads. Despite what people say, there aren't really a limited number of threads left in the vault

HIV homing stem cells are neat, but isn't this exactly the type of cure that HIV is notorious for evolving against and counteracting?

This thread had three things in common with my post:

1) Mice
2) Stem cell research
3) Medical breakthrough
