Scientists from Spain discovered the way to eliminate HIV virus from patients blood and body with stem cells.

Scientists from the Institute for AIDS Research IrsiCaixa in Barcelona and the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid have managed to get six HIV-infected patients to have the virus removed from their blood and tissues after undergoing stem cell transplants.

The research, published on October 15, 2018 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, confirmed that the six patients who received a stem cell transplant have the virus undetectable in blood and tissues and even one of them does not even have antibodies, which indicates that HIV may have been eliminated from your body. 

The patients maintain the antiretroviral treatment, but the researchers believe that the origin of the stem cells - umbilical cord and bone marrow -, as well as the time elapsed to achieve the complete replacement of the recipient cells by those of the donor - eighteen months in one of cases- could have contributed to a potential disappearance of HIV, which opens the door to designing new treatments to cure AIDS. IrsiCaixa researcher Maria Salgado, coprimera author of the article, together with Mi Kwon, hematologist of the Hospital Gregorio Marañón, explained that the reason that currently drugs do not cure HIV infection is the viral reservoir, consisting of cells infected by the viruses that remain dormant and can not be detected or destroyed by the immune system. 

This study pointed to certain factors associated with stem cell transplantation that could help to eliminate this reservoir from the body. Until now, stem cell transplantation is recommended exclusively to treat serious hematologic diseases. The study was based on the case of The Berlin Patient: Timothy Brown, a person with HIV who in 2008 underwent a stem cell transplant to treat leukemia. The donor had a mutation called CCR5 Delta 32 that made their blood cells immune to HIV, since it prevents the virus from entering them. Brown stopped taking antiretroviral medication and today, 11 years later, the virus still does not appear in his blood, which is considered the only person in the world cured of HIV. 

Since then, scientists are investigating possible mechanisms of HIV eradication associated with stem cell transplantation. To do this, the IciStem consortium created a unique cohort in the world of people infected with HIV who underwent a transplant to cure a blood disease, with the ultimate goal of designing new strategies for cure. "Our hypothesis was that, in addition to the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation, other mechanisms associated with transplantation influenced the eradication of HIV in Timothy Brown," said Salgado. 

The study included six participants who had survived at least two years after receiving the transplant, and all donors lacked the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation in their cells. "We selected these cases because we wanted to focus on the other possible causes that could help eliminate the virus," explained Mi Kwon. 

After the transplant, all the participants maintained the antiretroviral treatment and achieved the remission of their hematological disease after the withdrawal of the immunosuppressive drugs. After various analyzes, the researchers saw that 5 of them had an undetectable reservoir in blood and tissues and that in the sixth the viral antibodies had completely disappeared 7 years after the transplant.

According to Salgado, "this fact could be proof that HIV is no longer in his blood, but this can only be confirmed by stopping the treatment and checking whether the virus reappears or not." The only participant with a detectable HIV reservoir received an umbilical cord blood transplant - the rest was from bone marrow - and it took 18 months to replace all of their cells with the donor cells. The next step will be to conduct a clinical trial, controlled by doctors and researchers, to stop antiretroviral medication in some of these patients and to provide new immunotherapies to check for viral rebound and confirm if the virus has been eradicated from the body.

WiFi 6 is the next generation of WiFi. Press Release.




WiFi 6 or 802.11ax is the next genration of WiFi and it is going to make things easier to manufacturers, operators and users on their devices in order to easily market and tout  their products and consumers to know when their information is up to date as possible.

WiFi 6 promises faster speed and better performance. when handling a multitude of devices.

Wi-Fi 6 to identify devices that support 802.11ax technology
Wi-Fi 5 to identify devices that support 802.11ac technology
Wi-Fi 4 to identify devices that support 802.11n technology

The WiFi 6 (802.11ax) includes WiFi 4 and WiFi 5 and it is coming the next year.


Press Release: 

Wi-Fi Alliance® introduces Wi-Fi 6

New generational approach enables users to easily differentiate between Wi-Fi® technologies

Austin, TX, - October 3, 2018 – Wi-Fi Alliance® introduces Wi-Fi 6 as the industry designation for products and networks that support the next generation of Wi-Fi®, based on 802.11ax technology. Wi-Fi 6 is part of a new naming approach by Wi-Fi Alliance that provides users with an easy-to-understand designation for both the Wi-Fi technology supported by their device and used in a connection the device makes with a Wi-Fi network.

The new naming system identifies Wi-Fi generations by a numerical sequence which correspond to major advancements in Wi-Fi. The generation names can be used by product vendors to identify the latest Wi-Fi technology a device supports, by OS vendors to identify the generation of Wi-Fi connection between a device and network, and by service providers to identify the capabilities of a Wi-Fi network to their customers. The generational terminology may also be used to designate previous Wi-Fi generations, such as 802.11n or 802.11ac. The numerical sequence includes:

Wi-Fi 6 to identify devices that support 802.11ax technology
Wi-Fi 5 to identify devices that support 802.11ac technology
Wi-Fi 4 to identify devices that support 802.11n technology

Each generation of Wi-Fi offers new features – faster speeds, increased throughput, and better experiences. Industry adoption of the new terminology will help users better understand the experience they can expect. Wi-Fi 6 will deliver an improved experience to address device and application needs in a range of consumer and enterprise environments. The generational terminology is expected to be widely adopted by the Wi-Fi ecosystem.

“For nearly two decades, Wi-Fi users have had to sort through technical naming conventions to determine if their devices support the latest Wi-Fi,” said Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance. “Wi-Fi Alliance is excited to introduce Wi-Fi 6, and present a new naming scheme to help industry and Wi-Fi users easily understand the Wi-Fi generation supported by their device or connection.”

In addition to describing the capabilities of the device, device manufacturers or OS vendors can incorporate the generational terminology in User Interface (UI) visuals to indicate the current type of Wi-Fi connection. The UI visual will adjust as a device moves between Wi-Fi networks so users have real-time awareness of their device connection. Beginning with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi Alliance certification programs based on major IEEE 802.11 releases will use a generational Wi-Fi name; Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™ certification is coming in 2019.

“Wi-Fi Alliance’s mission to connect everyone and everything aligns with MediaTek’s vision to make great technology accessible to everyone. As consumers depend on fast, reliable connectivity to support the growing number of connected devices in their homes, this new terminology will help consumers better understand the latest Wi-Fi technology advancements and make more informed buying decisions for their connectivity needs.” – Finbarr Moynihan, VP of Corporate Sales & Business Development (Americas & Europe) at MediaTek

“NETGEAR welcomes an easy way to highlight for customers what level of Wi-Fi technology they are using. We believe this will help customers better understand and appreciate the generational differences in Wi-Fi technology and usher in the latest 802.11ax standard.” – David Henry, senior vice president of Connected Home Products for NETGEAR

 “Given the central role Wi-Fi plays in delivering connected experiences to hundreds of millions of people every day, and with next generation technologies like 802.11ax emerging, the Wi-Fi Alliance generational naming scheme for Wi-Fi is an intuitive and necessary approach to defining Wi-Fi’s value for our industry and consumers alike. We support this initiative as a global leader in Wi-Fi shipments and deployment of Wi-Fi 6, based on 802.11ax technology, along with customers like Ruckus, Huawei, NewH3C, KDDI Corporation/NEC Platforms, Charter Communications, KT Corp, and many more spanning enterprise, venue, home, mobile and computing segments.” – Rahul Patel, senior vice president and general manager, connectivity and networking, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

“As one of the first Wi-Fi Alliance members, Ruckus Networks supports the new Wi-Fi Alliance naming scheme. This campaign will help the networking ecosystem better identify the different generations of Wi-Fi technologies in future releases.” – Greg Beach, Vice President of Wireless Products, Ruckus Networks, an ARRIS company.
