For the first time the biologists have managed to induce a powerful immune response to animal version of HIV (monkey immunodeficiency virus) in the body of macaques. Two recently discovered antibodies were helped the scientists in this experiment. These two antibodies affect most strains of HIV. The principle is the same as with immunotherapy for cancer - the body begins to control the disease by itself, RIA News reports.
![Discovery: human bone tissue cells produce a hormone reducing appetite](assets/cache/images/mirovye-novosti/14.03-400x400-db2.jpg)
A team of specialists has found that bone cells produce a hormone called lipocalin 2, which affects the brain areas responsible for a hunger. The levels of this hormone are reduced in people with type 2 diabetes who are overweight and have high blood sugar levels. The study has shown that daily injections of lipocalin 2 help to reduce an appetite and weight, the Daily Mail says.
