Scientists have successfully removed HIV from human immune cells using CRISPR gene editing, bringing us a step closer to a potential cure.
This revolutionary advancement could reshape the future of gene therapy and virology.
What are your thoughts on gene editing as a tool to fight deadly viruses?
Yeah. I read this article. Revolutionary treatment. HIV, HBV, and HCV related illness could be diseases of the past.
Gene editing, especially with CRISPR, is a groundbreaking tool in the fight against deadly viruses. Its precision and versatility offer hope for potential cures and treatments. While further research and clinical trials are necessary, the progress made so far is promising and could reshape the future of virology and gene therapy.
Using CRISPR to remove HIV from human immune cells is a major milestone in gene therapy. It offers hope for curing not just HIV, but other viral and genetic diseases.
However, challenges remain—ensuring precise editing, avoiding unintended effects, and making treatment widely accessible. Still, it’s a promising step forward.
Very new to me. And interesting.
Just read the article saying the since is so closer to treat HIV. If this is even a progress on our path of medical science, it’s a great progress.
Will it be affordable for us general public?
nope, it is
far from affordable for the general public without major healthcare reforms or subsidies.
