Genetic Modification of Cells Proves Generally Safe as HIV Treatment Strategy
Scientists today report initial results from humans on the safety and tolerability of a novel strategy to curb HIV disease by removing key cells from HIV-infected individuals, genetically modifying the cells to resist HIV infection and returning them to those individuals.
The basic and pre-clinical research on this strategy, which eventually might help people control HIV without drugs, was funded by NIAID.
