The end of HIV infections may be closer than we think.
Scientists cut HIV out of immune cells using CRISPR.
And the cells stayed HIV-free even after re-exposure. A cure could finally be within reach.
In a groundbreaking advance, scientists at Temple University have successfully used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to eliminate HIV-1 DNA from the genomes of human immune cells.
Unlike existing treatments that suppress the virus, this method completely removes the genetic blueprint of HIV from infected T-cells.
