- Supercharging Immune Cells May Help Control HIV Long-Term
Researchers are exploring the use of CAR-T cell therapy to manage HIV, showing early promise in a small study. This therapy is already used to treat certain cancers. The study suggests that supercharging immune cells may help control HIV long-term.
- Small study hints that revving up immune cells might help fight HIV
Scientists are exploring the use of CAR-T cell therapy to fight HIV by supercharging patients' immune cells, with two people showing a strong response after receiving the treatment. The therapy involves taking immune cells from a person's blood, genetically engineering them, and infusing them back into the patient. Larger studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of this approach.
