It wasn’t always a specialised human killer, however.Scientists at the University of Cambridge assessed nearly 10,000 DNA samples infected by the bacterium from around the world to construct a “family tree” of the bug and found that just...

This is good news for developing an HIV vaccine because previous research had indicated it could take years for these antibodies to appear. Elusive HIV antibodies were triggered within weeks during a small-scale HIV vaccine study done at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute, according to a press release posted last month. This finding is significant because it can take years for the body to establish these antibodies. The research was published mid-May in the journal Cell.

A seventh person has essentially been cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant nearly a decade ago, doctors announced Thursday.

The 60-year-old unidentified German man was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia when he underwent the risky procedure to replace his unhealthy bone marrow in October 2015.

He quit taking anti-retroviral drugs — which stop HIV from reproducing — in September 2018. He remains in viral remission and appears to be cancer-free.

Rapid advances in computational and genetic tools have allowed researchers to delve into the mystery that is the human gut microbiome. There are trillions of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract that are intimately connected to various aspects of our physiology. While that is well established, scientists have been working to determine exactly which species of bacteria (or fungi, or viruses, for example) are associated with specific disorders. They have also been looking for reliable ways to modify the microbiome to alleviate some of those disorders.
