Amazing. 

Person 1: Doctors caring for the man said they have not found any human immunodeficiency virus that can replicate in his body since he stopped antiretroviral drug therapy in March 2021 after a transplant of stem cells containing a rare genetic mutation that blocks HIV infection. He was given the transplant for leukemia, for which people with HIV are at increased risk.

person 2: She was diagnosed with HIV at age 59 shortly after becoming infected, and entered a clinical trial in which she received antiretroviral drugs as well as therapies to boost her immune system. After nine months, the antiretrovirals were stopped, Dr. Ambrosioni said.

Years of research finally revealed how she keeps her HIV naturally under control, he said: she has high levels of two types of immune cells that the virus normally suppresses and that probably help control viral replication, he said.

Allegations that part of a key 2006 study of Alzheimer's disease may have been fabricated have rocked the research community, calling into question the validity of the study's influential results.

Science magazine said Thursday that it uncovered evidence that images in the much-cited study, published 16 years ago in the journal Nature, may have been doctored.

Wow that is just insane and so sad.  Hopefully all of the $ and research wasn't in vain.

I'm curious about this because I assume researchers have tried to duplicate the results of the original study and I wonder if they were able to or not. 16 years is a really long time.

I read that they have not been able to duplicate it. Some had tried

I am very curious to know how the whistle blower knew the images were altered.
