Fish Human

Howard T Odum thought that free economic systems evolve according to the Maximum Power Principle.

Here, application of the same principle to fish farming.  Temperature gradient is managed so that fishes grow at the fastest rate.

HIV/AIDs Related Info

I researched this because I'm owning their stock shares. Hopefully, it will be successful going through all the trial phases.

Another vid on YT about HIV -

Kuby's Immunology also has good info on HIV/AIDs.

Immunotherapy

"Researchers in the US who were treating the patient extracted white blood cells, the key component of the immune system, and grew one type the infection-fighting CD4+ T cells in the laboratory. The cloned T cells, which had been vastly expanded, were then reinfused to the patient to fight the cancer."

Why didn't I think of this? Now that I had failed, I'm thinking about all sort of possibilities. The body, esp. of those with a compromised immune system, is an inferior cell plant. Outside the body and inside the lab, there shouldn't be anything getting in the way of production scaling of whatever type of cells that are needed. What if AIDS patients are treated this way, while at the same time, be on some sort of cocktail drugs to that keep viral population at a minimum?

Cold News

A researcher with JHU is paving the path for possible new drugs that block production of two key proteins involved in inflammation of the nasal passage. This is great. It means basically symptom-less colds and quick recovery (<3 days?) See link

Common cold con't & AIDS/HIV

I wonder if the common cold is something in the domain of humoral response. If it is that then IL-4 overexpression may cause the virus to be cleared earlier.

Also, AIDS is primarily a disease of a compromised cell-mediated response. What if the opposite of IL-4 overexpression is performed? Would it boost cell-mediate response, enhancing effectiveness of drugs?

I'm going too deep into unknown territory here.

Although not related, this paper says something about IL-4 overexpression and prevention of cartilage destruction. The vector is a cold virus?
