One strange thing is happening here in Hong Kong. The health clinics, normally at this time of the year, would see a continuous flow of patients with different seasonal ailments, cold, flu, Hand-foot-and-mouth disease, etc. This year, with the CV outbreak, not so much with the virus, but with the fear, people are wearing face masks and very conscious with their personal hygiene, schools are not open, most people choose to stay home. One strange thing happens, people are not getting sick. The clinics are not seeing any CVs, not even the normal infections. Business is down 90%(exaggerated).
2nd person cured of HIV thanks to stem cell transplant
In this second case, the person received a stem cell transplant with cells that did not express the CCR5 gene, which produces a protein that helps the virus enter cells.
The cells without the CCR5 gene were part of a bone marrow transplant, which the person was undergoing as a treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma.
Following the transplant, and at 30 months after the person ceased antiretroviral therapy, doctors confirmed that the HIV viral load remained undetectable in blood samples.
Chinese biophysicist He Jianku 贺建奎 was right when He made expansive claims of a medical breakthrough that could “control the HIV epidemic”.https://www.theguardian.com/…/china-gene-edited-baby…. He is in jail for a 3-years sentence because he was accused by the world to have violated ethics. Perhaps he should be un-villanized now, may be even win a Nobel Prize.Edit or delete this
An Acetylation Switch of the NLRP3 Inflammasome Regulates Aging-Associated Chronic Inflammation and Insulin Resistance
- NLRP3 is modified by acetylation and deacetylated by SIRT2
- •NLRP3 acetylation facilitates the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome
- •SIRT2 prevents and reverses aging-associated inflammation and insulin resistance
