    It's funny because this is the same lecture I got after announcing the good news.

    And by funny I mean, tremendously, horribly depressing.

    so is this real news or fake news

    apparently when they did the treatment like a year and a half ago they said "this will probably cure HIV" and that's when everyone else heard of it

    but just recently they found out "yup, it sure did" and that's when I heard of it

    I do believe that one of the main advantages of stem cells is that they're not bound by our space-time, yes.

    A turnover is a kind of pastry made by placing a filling on a piece of dough, folding the dough over, and sealing it. Turnovers can be sweet or savory and are often made as a sort of portable meal or dessert, similar to a sandwich.

    The article also mentions that now that they know what does it they'll start trying to figure out ways to basically mutate your own bone marrow into AIDS-resistant supermarrow so you won't need a donor.
