I hope this will be actually transfered to some sort of treatment or vaccine or something.

Nothing in this story lauds this discovery as an "HIV cure," so quit your bitching. All the article details is that an intracellular protein interacts with the viral machinery to aid in its integration into the host's genome. That's it. The scientists even acknowledge that, even in cells lacking the LEDGF protein, integration still occurs at a basal level, implying that there are other cellular factors still at work.What this does mean, however, is an exciting new step in the understanding of the HIV life cycle, and a new target of post-infection therapy. Therefore, this article is worthy of a Digg, and much more so than say, any photoshop tutorial that makes it to the front page.
