Researchers led by the AIDS Research Institute IrsiCaixa have shown that HIV-infected cells when they generate proteins also create other defective viruses that cause an immune response, detection that identifies new therapeutic targets for the development of HIV vaccine.
The study, published in ‘Journal of Experimental Medicine,’ also shows that in the laboratory, the immune response created is able to block the virus infection cycle.
Research professor and researcher IrsiCaixa Icrea, Christian Brander, has coordinated a research group with members IrsiCaixa Harvard University in Boston, of Microsoft Research and the British Columbia, Canada, with the aim of find new targets. Brander is also currently the scientific coordinator of a research program of HIV vaccine called HIVACAT. (more…)

In 2001, the Dobelle Institute in New York developed an artificial eye can draw outlines of objects and therefore help the blind to distinguish their surroundings. The prosthesis consists of a pair of glasses on fixing a video camera and a detector distances. The camera records the environment and the sensor calculates the length distance that separates the individual from the obstacles. The information is sent to a small bag that is inside a computer. The computer cables are connected to the visual cortex, making up the optic nerve, brain perceives the forms of surrounding people and objects. The first tests are inconclusive because individuals achieve their independence.
