Hopes of HIV cure after breakthrough using gene-editing 'scissors'
- Scientists, led by Dr. Elena Herrera-Carrillo, used Crispr-Cas to target and remove HIV DNA from infected cells.
- New HIV cases among heterosexuals surpassed those in gay and bisexual men in 2020 and continue to rise.
- Researchers aim to develop a safe and effective Crispr-Cas regimen to inactivate diverse HIV strains and target the majority of HIV reservoir cells.

Scientists Discover Potential HIV Cure that Eliminates Disease from Cells Using CRISPR-Cas Gene Editing - Good News Network
A new study has unveiled a likely future cure for HIV which uses molecular scissors to ‘cut out’ HIV DNA from infected cells. To cut out this virus, the team used CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology—a groundbreaking method that allows for precise alterations to a patient’s genome, for which its inventors won the Nobel Prize in […] The post Scientists Discover Potential HIV Cure that Eliminates Disease from Cells Using CRISPR-Cas Gene Editing appe…
HIV-related illnesses are among the most common causes of death worldwide. People living with HIV can be well treated with medication. However, a cure is only known in rare cases. But a research team is now making a giant leap towards that goal.
