✂️ CRISPR Just Snipped HIV Out Of Human Immune Cells — And It Stayed Gone!
In a stunning leap forward, scientists have used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to delete HIV-1 DNA from human T-cells.
Unlike treatments that only suppress the virus, this approach completely removes HIV’s genetic code from the immune system’s core cells.
Even more impressive?
The edited cells resisted reinfection in lab tests—showing the potential for a real, permanent cure.
This could be the breakthrough that finally cracks the toughest part of the fight against HIV: eliminating the virus from the body once and for all.
