    Gene-Based Stem Cell Therapy Specifically Removes Cell Receptor That Attracts HIV

    UCLA AIDS Institute researchers successfully removed CCR5 - a cell receptor to which HIV-1 binds for infection but which the human body does not need - from human cells. Individuals who naturally lack the CCR5 receptor have been found to be essentially resistant to HIV. Using a humanized mouse...
