Scientists have discovered two potent human antibodies that can stop more than 90 percent of known global HIV strains from infecting human cells in the laboratory, and have demonstrated how one of these disease-fighting proteins accomplishes this feat.

Johnny Cupcakes is a good friend of ours and it’s really upsetting to see what’s going on with the bootleggers and copy cats. Last night Johnny posted a blog  about the company Benny Fryingpan  who temporarily took down their site due to the allegations made against them.
