Today there is better news: in the new issue of Cell, researchers from Harvard Medical School and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center announce that a technique called RNA interference can dramatically suppress HIV's spread not just in a petri dish but also in mice carrying human immune cells. The findings suggest a new mechanism for treating HIV with drugs—and perhaps also preventing it with a vaccine." "Priti Kumar: RNA interference is a mechanism where short molecules of ribonucleic acid called siRNA [the mirror image of DNA] are introduced into cells. They can attach to very specific strands of mRNA, the chemical that DNA uses to reproduce itself, and prevent the mRNA from doing its job [by destroying it]. That stops gene expression from taking place. These short molecules of RNA were discovered as an innate defensive mechanism that plants were using against viruses. They are now known to function in mammalian cells, too." 08-08 World Losing Battle with AIDS (BBC News - Lustig) "Globally, the number of those infected is now more than 42 million, by the end of the decade it will have grown by another 45 million.
