Green Day & Remission...

 

This article is about a mixed-race woman who's HIV went into remission after receiving a transplant of stem cells from umbilical cord blood.    She was being treated for here leukemia  A couple of things about this.  As of yet, it has not be announced as a cure, just a remission.   Next, her being of mixed-race heritage is medically important.  The more factors a person has, the more difficult matching for transplants becomes.  Mixed race or distinctive ethnicities can complicate the matter genetically.  

Today's St. Patrick's.  It's colder here, but at least it's sunny & green.  Take care.
