...because their crippled immune systems can no longer mount proper responses, H.I.V. patients infected with TB often don't produce the recognizable symptoms of the disease such as coughing or visible lesions on chest X-rays. Their abnormal immunity also renders the myco-bacterium difficult to detect in blood-based assays...
...response, the World Health Organization (WHO) in June recommended widespread use of a new, faster test that can screen for drug-resistant TB in the blood in one or two days. But it requires sophisticated lab facilities for amplifying genes that are beyond the limited resources of most developing nations. "It will be very difficult to bring expensive technologies, machines and trained technicians on a wider scale," predicts Dr. Arvinder Pal Gill, district TB officer in Moga, in India's Punjab region. In addition, the test can detect only MDR TB, not the emerging XDR strains. But both...
...technique allows scientists to genetically manipulate a patient’s cells—typically skin cells or blood cells—and reprogram them into a pluripotent state. Like embryonic stem cells, these iPS cells are then capable of morphing into any type of body tissue...
...Though he used money from the NIH New Innovator Award that he won last year, Hochedlinger’s research was not subject to federal embryonic stem cell restrictions because iPS cells are created from skin cells or blood cells instead of from embryos. His work was also funded in part by the Harvard Stem Cell Institute...
...Offense: Linking McCain to Bush in his very first answer, he kept it up as his primary line of attack. Forcefully hit McCain for his early support of the Iraq War. Though he never drew blood, he did keep McCain a bit off balance, often with clever references to McCain's recent statements...
