Researchers from Temple University and UNMC collaborate in a study recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Gene-editing therapy targeting both HIV-1, the virus responsible for AIDS, and CCR5, the co-receptor assisting viral entry into cells, has been de
The possibility of using gene-editing to eliminate HIV is growing stronger, according to a group of researchers who have successfully combined gene-editing with antiretroviral drugs to cure animals of HIV a feat they have now pulled off more than once.
Chances of eliminating HIV infection increased by novel dual gene-editing approach sciencedaily.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from sciencedaily.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Scientists say HIV can be eliminated from the body by using a new gene-editing therapy that targets the virus and the molecule that allows it to invade cells. Researchers at Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center combined that approach with antiretroviral drugs in a study on mice.
Researchers say dual CRISPR approach in combination with ART achieved effective HIV-1 elimination in humanised mice and has potential for translation to the clinic
