Cream from cow's milk can protect against HIV

Cream from cow's milk can protect against HIV


 MELBOURNE: Cow's milk can be potentially developed into affordable creams that can help protect humans against HIV, a study has claimed. Lead scientist from University of Melbourne Marit Kramski found that when pregnant cows were vaccinated with an HIV protein, the first milk produced by the cow after giving birth, called colostrum, produced high antibodies to protect its newborn against disease. Researchers were now planning to test the effectiveness and safety of the milk before turning it into a cream which will hopefully allow women to protect themselves against contracting the virus during sex, without relying on men.

Moon rocks fetch $330,000: A pair of lunar rocks, which originated on far side of the Moon, has sold for $330,000 at a meteorite auction in New York. The auction is estimated to have netted more than $1million from the sale of meteorites. The Moon slabs, each weighing around 907 grams, were the most expensive items sold at the auction, which was conducted by Heritage Auctions and featured more than 125 other pieces from around the solar system, the 'New York Daily News' reported.

Missing sleep can erase memory: Researchers have found that memories can be lost for ever if you don't get enough sleep, and missing even two hours of slumber can stop the brain from storing them. Experts looked at how mice that were stopped from sleeping fared on a memory task. The creatures were kept awake for varying amounts of time. "What we found is that when we deprived animals of sleep, that impaired storage of memories," lead researcher Ted Abel said.
