Great content. One question:

You are writing that SCD "might have the potential for a treatment of HIV and malaria."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought SCD was caused by a gene defect? Are there other ways to induce it that might serve as therapeutic approach?

Yes, it's caused by a gene defect. But if it's possible to find out what exactly the properties are that slow down HIV one could try to mimic those.

nice. You will keep us informed, I guess?^^

If I hear something, you will hear about it next
