DLY - The research to find the best drugs for HIV disease never ceasing. The new findings on HIV research, researchers discovered a natural chemical in bananas that can help protect women against sexual transmission of HIV.

How it works, lectins binding of HIV-1 layer rich in sugar gp120, and Banlec block entry of HIV into the cell body, amazing ...

Researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School reveals BanLec findings could be cheaper and very effective as a new component of vaginal microbicides. Study report will be published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

"Obstacles are HIV drug-resistant virus and mutate, but it is more difficult to occur when dealing with the HIV virus lectins," said researcher Michael D. Swanson was quoted as saying by AP.

"Lectins bind sugars in different places on the lining of HIV-1 and assumed that the virus will mutate to be around them."
