Summary:
The Contra Costa Times reports on new research into stem cells' potential to treat HIV and AIDS:
"Nearly 10 years after the development of anti-viral drugs to treat HIV and AIDS, scientists are poised to attack the deadly virus with a new weapon: stem cells. Researchers at UCLA are working on ways to arm blood stem cells in the bone marrow against HIV. Although the strategy does not amount to a cure, it may be more effective than current anti-viral treatments and some day might have the potential to immunize people against the virus."
