I don’t share all of the news leads that I get about medical research at Kumamoto University but this one is especially intriguing. In this and other articles, research at Kumamoto University is cited as having the potential to lead to an actual cure – not just a treatment – for HIV infections.
The first article I saw on this topic (which I’m not sharing this time) sounded a bit sensationalistic so a did a little more digging on the web and found the following article on a medical website:
A new method for removing cells infected with the AIDS virus https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-10-method-cells-infected-aids-virus.html
It looks like the claim of “promise” is legit.
