Human stem cells genetically engineered into HIV-fighting cells can attack HIV-infected cells in a living animal model, a team of UCLA researchers has demonstrated
“We believe that this study lays the groundwork for the potential use of this type of an approach in combating HIV infection in infected individuals, in hopes of eradicating the virus from the body,” said lead investigator Scott G.
