Details of a 60-year-old male from Germany who achieved sustained HIV remission after a stem cell transplant, the 7th-known case reported, are published in Nature. This individual received cells with just one copy of a mutated gene for a protein required in HIV-1 infection:

Sustained HIV-1 remission after heterozygous CCR5Δ32 stem cell transplantation - Nature
HIV cure is exceptionally rare, documented in only six cases among the estimated 88 million individuals who have acquired HIV since the epidemic's onset1–6. Successful cures, including the pioneering Berlin patient, are limited to individuals receiving allogeneic stem cell transplants (allo-SCT) for hematological cancers. HIV resistance from stem cell donors with the rare homozygous CCR5 Δ32 mutation was long considered the main mechanism for HIV remission without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but recent reports highlight CCR5-independent mechanisms as important contributors to HIV cure6–8. Here, we provide new evidence for this conceptual shift, reporting exceptionally long, treatment-free HIV remission following allo-SCT with functionally active CCR5. A heterozygous CCR5 wild-type/Δ32 male living with HIV received allo-SCT from an HLA-matched unrelated heterozygous CCR5 wild-type/Δ32 donor as treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Three years after allo-SCT, the patient discontinued ART. To date, HIV remission has been sustained for over six years with undetectable plasma HIV RNA. Reservoir analysis revealed intact proviral HIV before transplantation, but no replication-competent virus in blood or intestinal tissues after allo-SCT. Declining or absent HIV-specific antibody and T cell responses support the absence of viral activity. High antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity at the time of transplantation may have contributed to HIV reservoir clearance. These results demonstrate that CCR5Δ32-mediated HIV resistance is not essential for durable remission, underscoring the importance of effective viral reservoir reductions in HIV cure strategies.

Dinosaurs promoted open habitats in the Late Cretaceous, and their extinction could have led to a radical reorganization of the landscape and ecosystem structure at the beginning of the Paleogene, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. go.nature.com/3InFngj #Paleosky 🧪

@mcuban.bsky.social Hey Mark, how about developing an own streaming/video portal......just give it with better technique, cleaner search structure....moderate adds (not like youtube but maybe banner without noises), better reimbursement for creators (maybe give them control which adds they want)
