A minimum viable chemostat for us will be able to maintain a constant temperature and pH inside the vessel, add air, add food/chemical base as necessary, stir the liquid inside, and monitor the number of cells (optical density or OD). I'm not going to get too into detail on the design in this post because I could go on for…

Hey everyone, Max here. Big thanks to glims and Cassox for hosting everyone, and to everyone else for attending. It was beyond awesome and I hope it happens again soon.

Herpesviruses are an option, but are far less investigated than lentiviruses for gene therapy, for various reasons. They do have the ability to repress the immune response against infected cells, but my concern is that injecting a large number of viral particles will trigger an extracellular response anyway. They do have…

By "massive amounts" I was referring to your approach, not injecting the protein intravenously, which would obviously do nothing. The potential hazards of integration aren't especially worrying by themselves, but combined with telomerase expression, they become more of an issue. If you have a cell near the injection site…

I'll try and make a list, from least to most pessimistic. 1. Catching the HIV is the least of your concerns; the producer cells have never seen most of the HIV genome, as all the genes sourced from HIV would be synthetic. However, if you're injecting this into yourself, the company would not be liable for any side effects.…
