The body’s own “training manual” for attacking HIV has been recorded by US scientists and it is hoped it can be used to design vaccines.
HIV mutates in order to survive the onslaught of a patient’s immune system.
However, some patients develop highly effective antibodies that can neutralise huge swathes of HIV mutants.
A North Carolina team analysed the arms race between body and virus, published in the journal Nature, and has shown how these antibodies are made.
When someone is infected with HIV, their body produces antibodies to attack it. But the virus mutates and evades the offensive, so the body produces new antibodies that the virus then evades and the war goes on.

The recovery of Robert Griffin III continues to get rave reviews from his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews.
Last month at the Scouting Combine, Andrews said Griffin’s recovery from torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee was “way ahead of schedule.”
Then, in an interview with ESPN’s Stephania Bell on Friday, Andrews described Griffin as “superhuman” in his ability and motivation to recover. Andrews put South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore in the same category. Lattimore hopes to get drafted next month as he rehabs from a second torn ACL.
Andrews compared the rehabs of Griffin and Lattimore to those of Bo Jackson and Adrian Peterson.

Men going thin on top may be more likely to have heart problems than their friends with a full head of hair, according to researchers in Japan.
Their study of nearly 37,000 people, published in the online journal BMJ Open, said balding men were 32% more likely to have coronary heart disease.
However, the researchers said the risks were less than for smoking or obesity.
The British Heart Foundation said men should focus on their waistline, not their hairline.
A shifting hairline is a fact of life for many men. Half have thinning hair by their 50s and 80% have some hair loss by the age of 70.

Researchers at Stanford University announced this week that they’ve created genetic receptors that can act as a sort of “biological computer,” potentially revolutionizing how diseases are treated.
In a paper published in the journal “Science” on Friday, the team described their system of genetic transistors, which can be inserted into living cells and turned on and off if certain conditions are met. The researchers hope these transistors could eventually be built into microscopic living computers. Said computers would be able to accomplish tasks like telling if a certain toxin is present inside a cell, seeing how many times a cancerous cell has divided or determining precisely how an administered drug interacts with each individual cell.

Acting director of National Clandestine Service is a woman in her 50s
-
Authorised decision to destroy video of brutal interrogations in Thailand
A woman has become head of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service for the first time, it emerged today.
The unnamed operative was made acting director of the service last month – evoking parallels to fictional female spies from the likes of Homeland and Zero Dark Thirty.
For the woman to be given the job permanently, however, officials may have to overlook her controversial background, which included ordering videos of alleged torture to be destroyed.

A midlife crisis — if you fully embrace the stereotype — can be expensive. Fancy car… trophy spouse… new body… new career. But — as with so many things — your buck buys you more when you take your midlife crisis to a tropical paradise and teach it to dance the salsa.

An Arizona judge on Friday refused to grant a divorce for a transgender Arizona man who gave birth to three children after beginning to change his sex from female.
Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach ruled that Arizona’s ban on same-sex marriages prevents Thomas Beatie’s 9-year union from being recognized as valid.
Thomas Beatie was born a woman and later underwent a double-mastectomy, and began testosterone hormone therapy and psychological treatment to become a man, but he retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children.

Colon cancer screenings can detect precancerous polyps early enough to prevent cancer from developing.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, so it’s a perfect time to be reminded that colon cancer is one of the most common and preventable cancers.
It’s important to know your risk factors — like age, being overweight, and smoking. Diet and lifestyle changes, such as eating foods low in saturated fats and high in fiber like fruits and vegetables, as well as becoming more active are great steps toward lowering your risk.
