That's awesome. If I was immune, I'd be heading out to donate bone marrow right now. That is so fucking awesome.

Shit guys this means that white people need to make another

disease to kill the coloured people!

Damn, that's quite impressive, and a bone marrow transplant is one of the last thing I would have expected to cure AIDS.

Sweet. Now they just need to find a way to find mass amounts of a rare gene. Think it can be artificially generated?

They did it with insulin, so I guess.

Oh, didn't see that. I just saw the CCR5 thing and went, "damn, it's rare."

Wow, that's pretty awesome.

Wow, I am surprised they did not realize this earlier, bone marrow makes white blood cells.

It's all about the stem cells in the bone marrow, maybe they can be grown in cultures.

Very cool. Glad there has been some breakthroughs, even if it is a preliminary case. Hope it turns out to be reproducible in other patients.
