Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Optogenetic therapy and stem cell transplantation represent additional strategies, particularly for patients with advanced disease.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful

Published Workflows
Objective: Develop an HIV-1 cure framework that combines neutralizing antibodies, precision genome editing, and latent reservoir management rather than relying on monotherapy.
Why it works: The abstract argues that combining complementary modalities can address limitations of ART and monotherapies by jointly targeting viral replication, latent reservoirs, and immune dysfunction.

This approach requires a cell-based treatment platform, but the abstract does not specify the cell source or delivery route.; requires a cell-based treatment platform; The abstract does not provide details on cell type, manufacturing, or delivery procedure.; requires transplantation-based therapeutic deployment, though details are not given in the abstract
The abstract does not show that stem cell transplantation alone overcomes the heterogeneity of SCI presentation or fully restores function.; the abstract does not specify cell type, route, safety profile, or comparative efficacy; The abstract does not support conclusions about durability, efficacy, or which patient subsets benefit most.; the abstract does not specify cell source, transplantation protocol, or efficacy limits
