  • HIV treatment has been stymied because reservoirs of infected cells have remained latent, or "in hiding," in the bone marrow of patients, and can later reactivate. (forbes.com)
  • When the donor's stem cells were successfully transplanted, it replaced the patients' own cells, conferring this HIV-resistance. (forbes.com)
  • So while this new case of successful treatment of HIV with stem-cell replacement is exciting, it's limitations of side effects and cost will make it unfeasible for most patients. (forbes.com)
