Scientists Successfully Remove HIV From Cells

Scientists from the University of Amsterdam have successfully removed HIV from cells using CRISPR/Cas9, a gene-editing technique that works similarly to a cookie cutter, focusing on HIV DNA at a small scale and removing all viral imprints at particular locations within infected cells.

A gene-editing technique that won the 2020 Nobel Prize promises to progress HIV treatment and eliminate the need for long-term antiviral drugs. Nonetheless, there are still issues with how difficult it is to completely eradicate HIV from all infected cells.

In a preprint, Japanese scientists warn against blood transfusion from mRNA vaccine recipients, claiming that there are a variety of possible complications linked to blood transfusions from people who have received mRNA COVID-19 shots.

Using a revolutionary approach, researchers have effectively eliminated HIV from infected cells, increasing hopes for a potential treatment.Through the use of specific proteins embedded on the surfaces of t...
