The research team said that compared to adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood stem cells are more adaptable, but can produce insufficient cells, and stem cells from adult donors can compensate for this problem. Moreover, umbilical cord blood data are stored by the state, making it easier to screen for "anti AIDS mutations".

However, the research team also pointed out that, compared with the huge number of AIDS patients, the scope of application of this treatment method is too small, and only 50 people may meet the conditions every year. At this stage, they are more inclined to describe the woman in a "remission" state of AIDS than to use the word "cure".
