A trio of concerned scientists is issuing a warning regarding use of the phrase "mesenchymal stem cells." They claim the phrase is no longer useful because it encompasses too many cell types and because it has come to be associated with unproven medical applications.

An MRI scan often generates an ocean of data, most of which is never used. When overlooked data is analyzed using a new technique developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, they surprisingly reveal how many and which brain cells are present — and show where cells have been lost through injury or disease.

A team of researchers including University of California, Irvine, project scientist Rachita Sumbria, Ph.D., and UCI neurologist Dr. Mark J. Fisher have provided, for the first time, evidence that blood deposits in the brain may not require a blood vessel tear. The researchers found that brain endothelial cells, the cells that line blood vessels of the brain, have the capacity for engulfing red blood cells and depositing them outside the blood vessels and into the substance of the brain, without requiring a disruption of the vasculature.

Despite big advances in the field of HIV treatment, including streamlined drug regimens that help infected individuals achieve normal or near-normal life spans, living with HIV often means dealing with neurocognitive impairment of some kind. This is particularly problematic in resource-limited settings such as parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

University of Colorado Boulder via Infection Control Today
With antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” now infecting 2 million people per year and a dearth of new medications in the pipeline to treat them, University of Colorado Boulder researchers are taking a novel approach to addressing the looming public health crisis: They’re helping develop new drugs to make old drugs work better. “We believe the compounds we’ve discovered have the potential to rejuvenate existing antibiotics — to make bacteria that are now insensitive to multiple drugs sensitive again,” said Corrie Detweiler, a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology who recently outlined her discovery in the journal PLOS Pathogens.

A combination of two HIV-fighting antibodies can suppress the virus in some patients, even after they stop standard drugs, a preliminary trial has shown.
Researchers found that among 11 HIV patients given the antibody combo, nine maintained complete suppression of the virus after going off their medication regimen. The benefit typically lasted about five months.
