The Professor 1,060 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Amazing news regarding HIV research! Before now, the HIV virus could only be suppressed, now however scientists have found a way to completely destroy the HIV virus. This marks a MAJOR breakthrough in HIV treatment! "Kamel Khalili, director of the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at Temple University School of Medicine, and his colleagues took advantage of a new gene editing technique to splice the virus out of the cells they infected – essentially returning them to their pre-infection state. The strategy relies on detecting and binding HIV-related genetic material, and therefore represents the first anti-HIV platform that could find even the dormant virus sequestered in immune cells." Even more encouraging, they also used the system to arm healthy cells from getting infected in the first place, by building genetic blockades that bounced off HIV’s genetic material. “It’s what we call a sterilizing cure,†says Khalili. His work was done on human cells infected with HIV in cell culture, but, he believes the results are robust enough to move into animal trials and eventually into testing the idea in human patients.
