Will stem cells help to defeat HIV?
Recently, American scientists have begun active trials of their developed method of treating HIV infection using stem cells (SC). The experiments carried out allow us to assert that this technique is quite effective and safe, and the stability of the biochemical effect of therapy on the body is confirmed with each new patient.Such HIV treatment is based on the latest scientific discoveries and achievements of modern biology, medicine and biochemistry, including:- the use of SC, as well as their genetic modifications:- genetic engineering and therapy;- the use of ribonucleic acid with active enzymes;- the phenomenon of RNA interference , etc.If you explain it, as they say, "on your fingers," then cell therapy consists of the process of transplanting your own blood cells to an HIV-infected patient, whose DNA additionally contains three artificially modified genes that protect cells from the virus. The vector that regulates the delivery of gene material to its destination is an HIV-like virus that does not, however, provoke this disease in humans. Embedded genes act due to ribonucleic acids synthesized on their matrix. It is RNA that blocks all the most important reactions of the vital activity of the immunodeficiency virus.One of these genes encodes RNA with enzymatic activity (ribozyme), which prevents the virus from interacting with CCR5-type receptors (it is through such receptors that immunodeficiency viruses enter human cells).The Americans conducted a special study on the properties of this modified gene, which absolutely proved that when the synthesis of CCR5 receptors is suppressed, the rate of reproduction and spread of HIV decreases by 90%. By the way, 3% of the representatives of the European race are natural carriers of this mutation, so their body independently prevents contact with the VIRUS. In other words, these people are not susceptible to this virus and will not be able to get infected with it even with constant contact with the virus carrier.No other technique has shown such results, except for immunostimulants developed by Russian scientists, which were not widely available due to the cheapness of the production process and cost (the production of such drugs turned out to be unprofitable for Russian pharmacists).Of course, today it is impossible to claim that stem cells are a panacea for the immunodeficiency virus, because too little time has passed since the beginning of the experiment, but the fact that the method is really effective and was able to prolong the lives of the study participants is already an irrefutable scientific fact.Therefore, humanity has a hope that one day it will be possible to protect against AIDS with the help of routine vaccination.
