Groundbreaking Gene Therapy Study Gets The Go-Ahead By The FDA
Calimmune, a small biotechnology company, is giving people a low dose chemo agent (as conditioning) and then infusing them with stem cells that have been modified to inhibit the CCR5 receptor and to contain their own built-in HIV fusion inhibitor peptide, thereby blocking two sites that are essential for HIV infection. The study is

CD4 cell manipulation and reinfusion…will they make a difference in long term survival?
Very cool article on Matt’s CD4 cell manipulation and reinfusion Will this be a solution for people whose CD4 cells have remained low even after years of undectectable viral load? Are these “HIV resistant” CD4 cells functional in the long run? Well, Matt thinks his health has improved and he no longer has sinus infections
