Possible Key to Slow Progression Toward AIDS Found

11:59 PM Anonymous
Although the average time between HIV infection and AIDS in the absence of antiretroviral treatment is about 10 years, some individuals succumb within two years, while so-called slow progressors can stay healthy for 20 years or longer. Researchers already know that many slow progressors carry a gene called HLA-B*57 (B57), an immune gene variant that is found in less than 5 percent of the general population but in 40 to 85 percent of slow progressors.  Yet even among those with the B57 gene, the speed of disease progression can vary...

Your Memory Is Like the Telephone Game

11:29 PM Anonymous
Turns out your memory is a lot like the telephone game, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study. Every time you remember an event from the past, your brain networks change in ways that can alter the later recall of the event. Thus, the next time you remember it, you might recall not the original event but what you remembered the previous time. The Northwestern study is the first to show this.  "A memory is not simply an image produced by time traveling back to the original event -- it can be an image that is somewhat distorted...

The effect s*x has on women

2:32 AM Anonymous
S**x can trigger 'remarkable' responses in women - including altered fertility, immunity, libido, eating and sleep patterns - by the activation of diverse sets of genes, according to a study.  Researchers investigated fruit flies, but say their findings could in principle be akin to responses in many animals - including humans - where sperm and semen is released inside the female’s body during s**x.
