Paris Hilton World Cup Hiccup, Stem Cells Control HIV

Paris Hilton World Cup Hiccup The most popular socialite Paris Hilton is was involved in a police probe into suspected drug possession in Port Elizabeth last night while she was there to enjoy World Cup match. Hilton, the millionaire heiress to the Hilton Hotel chain, glamorous model, great actress and popular singer, was questioned by police who confirmed they were conducting a simple inquiry. Police would not confirm particulars of the investigation but social network Twitter was said that she had been held on drug-related charges.

It was confirmed that Hilton was escorted from the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, where she was to attend and enjoy the Holland versus Brazil quarter-final match. An unverified account from an eyewitness states that the incident actually took place before the start of the match. Police searched Hilton, which is when the narcotics were supposedly found on her. There have also been claims of a dispute between what was alleged to be her bodyguards and police.

Then she was escorted by police. Provincial head of detectives in Port Elizabeth Mark Magadlela confirmed that they brought Hilton to the police station. He, however, would not tell anything in detail.

Hilton is not an alien to controversy. She has faced this type of situation before. In spite of these controversies she is still so popular.

In another medical breakthrough, doctors can someday control HIV virus using stem cells without using anti-retroviral drugs.

Stem Cells Will Control HIV in the Future Scientists at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California conducted a study on rodents to test cells that target one of the two gateway molecules where the HIV virus uses to enter one’s body. The spokeswoman for the team said that they modified the blood stem cells to make it resistant to the virus then they transplanted them to the rodents, after that the rodents can now control the infection, in what way?

People with “a mutation gene called CCR5 are naturally resistant to the HIV infection and does not develop AIDS, we used the enzymes to knock out the CCR5 gene in human blood stem cells then transplanted it to the rodents. The new cells will develop into mature cells of the human immune system including T cells that HIV infects. After infecting the rodents with the virus, they were able to maintain normal levels of T cells that can suppress HIV. By creating CCR5-deficient stem cells, we can allow a patient to produce HIV-restraint cells.”

Now the next step for them is to try the research on humans; they hope that it’ll work for us. If it works, patients don’t need to take anti-retroviral medicines anymore all they have to do is undergo stem cell therapy to create HIV resistant immune cells that can kill the HIV viruses in their body.
