Scientists have announced that they have developed the first ever implantable artificial kidney that can be powered by the human body’s circulatory system. This could one day replace the current medical procedures of kidney donation and dialysis. The device was developed by a consortium of 10 different research teams, lead by a University of California-San Fransisco scientist.

Researchers have developed a technique to eliminate HIV by targeted killing of only HIV-infected cells. This could be a turning point, the scientists believe, as current treatments do not eradicate HIV but rather inhibit virus replication and delay onset.
