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.

Hopes of HIV cure thanks to gene-editing ‘scissors’

The HIV virus has been removed from cells in a lab setting (Picture: Getty) HIV has been completely eliminated from cells in a laboratory, raising hopes of a future cure. Researchers completed the revolutionary task by using a gene-editing tool known as Crispr-Cas, which won the Nobel Prize in 2020, and targets the virus’s DNA. Using the tool essentially like scissors, they removed all traces of the virus from infected cells and allowed unwant…
