olyclimber Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Hopefully this possible AIDS cure won't go the way of the cold fusion claims that were made a while ago. http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_3482712 Quote

foraker Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 If it's efficacious, BYU will probably license it to a pharmaceutical company, basically ensuring that no one outside of the 1st world will get it. Quote

minx Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 If it's efficacious, BYU will probably license it to a pharmaceutical company, basically ensuring that no one outside of the 1st world will get it. apparently the pharmaceutical company already controls the patent. however, this hasn't even moved into the stage of actually being a drug candidate. it's still research molecules. The first human trials haven't even been iniated yet. If this works and it's a huge if--it hasn't even been proven safe in humans let alone effective--it's a good 10+ years from market. Don't start thinking you can just anyone safely. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I've seen so many cancers cured in mice, you wouldn't believe it. Don't get too excited just yet. Quote
underworld Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 unless you have a pet mouse that smokes. or, in this case - a pet mouse-whore Quote
minx Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I've seen so many cancers cured in mice, you wouldn't believe it. Don't get too excited just yet. yep--mice can expect to be cured of just about any cancer humans give them. Quote

jordop Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Does anyone else see any irony in the fact that cutting edge HIV research is being done at BYU Quote
minx Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Does anyone else see any irony in the fact that cutting edge HIV research is being done at BYU oh yeah! first thing that crossed my mind Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Actually, there is much more exciting news on the Hepatitis-C front. Vertex Pharmaceuticals has a protease inhibitor called VX-950 that is in human clinical trials (Phase II) which has dropped viral loads to nearly undetectable levels. HepC does not have any good treatments at present, unlike AIDS. Quote
