It was reported today that researcher, Dr. Martin Guimond, has discovered
...the mechanism that prevents the regeneration of CD4+ T lymphocytes, which are white cells that are required for the proper functioning of the immune system.
This has tremendous implication for people who suffer anything that negatively affects their immune system. This includes those who have chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and HIV.
The report said that Dr. Guimond’s research study “identified a negative regulation loop that restricts the ability of T lymphocytes to divide.” Dr. Guimond said
By acting on this regulation loop, we can create a homeostatic production of CD4+ T lymphocytes that will allow the immune system to regenerate.
