25/09/2009 - Scientists have for the first time developed a vaccine which is able to curb the transmission of HIV.
The experimental vaccine, developed through a joint US-Thailand initiative, has been shown to stop the virus from spreading in just over 30 per cent of cases of possible infection.
30 percent may not sound like much, but it's a major breakthrough anyway. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling in finding a cure or a much more powerful vaccine.

25/09/2009 - An experimental drug shown to have the ability to shrink skin cancers is the "best thing we've had happen in melanoma in quite some time", an Australian expert says.
Latest trials involving the drug PLX4032, released this week at a conference in Berlin, have confirmed its breakthrough ability to reverse the growth of melanomas which have a specific mutation in one gene (BRAF).
This accounts for about half of all people with melanoma in Australia.
Melanoma is one of the biggest killers in Australia. This article contains fantastic news. I'm so glad we're finally making headway in finding a cure for this terrible disease.
