High genetic variability of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been a major intractable challenge to the practical design of vaccines. But a recent pioneer study published in PNAS Xenobots, is likely to revolutionize HIV prevention as it presented the world's first living robot made of cells. In the advent of this discovery, we herein discuss the possibility of using living biological cell robots to target HIV-infected T lymphocytes, and the prospects of this approach being a new HIV vaccine. We capture the current research status and trend of advances in biological cell robots' design as a new HIV vaccine. The key differences between this novel vaccine and other HIV vaccines are highlighted.
This article hopes to investigate the relationship between air pollution and small cell lung cancer through statistical data, and summarize experience. We investigated the causes of lung cancer in Beihai of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in recent 10 years. Results we found that there were relatively more lung cancer cases among workers of paper mills, residents living nearby and cottage residential areas, and the incidence of lung cancer among women increased and tended to be younger. Through statistical analysis, we believe that SO2 and smoke in the air are the main causes of small cell lung cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
