Scientists claim they successfully eliminated HIV from infected cells
Scientists claim to have successfully eliminated HIV, with the use of Nobel Prize-winning Crispr gene-editing technology, from infected cells. The technology, which functions like scissors at the molecular level, cuts DNA so "bad" that bits can be inactivated or removed. The researchers now aim to remove the virus entirely from the body even though much more work is required to check it is effective and safe. The HIV medicines, which exist in t…

A team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam presented the early findings of successfully removing the HIV virus from infected cells using the CRISPR genetic engineering technique.
The University of Amsterdam team, presenting a summary of their early discoveries at a medical conference this week, stressed that their work is only a "conceptual proof" and will not become a cure for HIV soon. Dr. James Dixon, associate professor of stem cell technology and genetic therapy at the University of Nottingham, said that, indeed, full conclusions require further analysis. "It will take much more work to demonstrate that the results …
CRISPR acts like scissors, but at the molecular level, it cuts DNA so that the “bad” parts can be removed or deactivated
AIDS was once a "century of extinction," and with the advances in modern medicine, most patients have been able to control the disease with drugs and extend their lifespans, but are still unable to cure it.The Dutch University of Amsterdam's research team has succeeded in cutting HIV from infected cells, bringing a new dawn to the treatment of this deadly disease.Read more: Europe's spread of infectious diseases is on the rise EU urges stronger …
