Interrupted connections to video calls can impact many aspects of life, including parole decisions, trust in advice given during online medical appointments, or hiring decisions after virtual job interviews, according to research in Nature.

The study suggests that glitches break the illusion of face-to-face conversations, causing a negative effect on interpersonal judgements.

A paper in Nature reports the details of a 60-year-old male individual from Germany who achieved sustained HIV remission after a stem cell transplant, the seventh-known case reported to date.

This individual received cells with just one copy of a mutated gene for a protein required in HIV-1 infection (unlike earlier remissions that used cells with two copies), which suggests that the pool of stem cell donors with the potential to eliminate HIV could be larger than previously thought.
