The search for a cure: how stem cells could eradicate the AIDS virus
It’s hard to overstate just how devastating the AIDS crisis was at its peak in the U.S. – and still is today in many parts of the world. In 1995 almost 51,000 Americans died from the disease, the numbers of new cases were at almost record highs, and there were few effective therapies against the … Continue reading The search for a cure: how stem cells could eradicate the AIDS virus
Searching for a Cure for HIV/AIDS: Stem Cells and World AIDS Day
It's been 26 years since the first World AIDS Day was held in 1988—and the progress that the international scientific community has made towards eradicating the disease has been unparalleled. But there is much more work to be done. One of the most promising areas of HIV/AIDS research has been in the field of regenerative … Continue reading Searching for a Cure for HIV/AIDS: Stem Cells and World AIDS Day
BIO International Panel Showed Stem Cell Science Poised to Make a Difference in Medical Practice Soon
When the biotechnology trade association began holding annual conferences in 1993, they drew 1,400 to the first event. This year BIO International expected nearly 20,000 here in San Diego. Among the dozens of concurrent sessions each day of this four-day scramble, stem cells got one track on one day this year. But listening to the … Continue reading BIO International Panel Showed Stem Cell Science Poised to Make a Difference in Medical Practice Soon

Innovative Stem Cell Therapy for HIV Passes Milestone
Milestones are useful things. They measure how far we have come on a journey, and give us a sense that we are on the right path. One of the projects we are helping fund just passed a big milestone, and it’s given the researchers the go-ahead to move on to the next, perhaps even more … Continue reading Innovative Stem Cell Therapy for HIV Passes Milestone
