Have researchers taken a step closer to developing an eventual cure for HIV? A Temple University-led team hopes so, by using a gene editing technique to successfully remove HIV infection from lab ...

Khalili and his team engineered the animals to incorporate specific HIV genes into nearly every cell in their body, from the brain, heart, liver, kidney lungs and spleen to their blood cells.

Participating in the research program is potentially risky: Participants stop their protective anti-HIV drugs for 12 weeks after gene-editing treatment to see if the virus is gone. Data will be ...

In another, Dr Jonathan Herskovitz and team at the University of Nebraska showed that when CRISPR-Cas9 is manipulated to target multiple sites at two of HIV’s most important genes, viral replication ...

In a remarkable experiment, a biotechnology company called Excision BioTherapeutics says it added the gene-editing tool to the bodies of three people living with HIV and commanded it to cut ...

The work is, the investigators stated, the first to combine a dual gene editing strategy with antiretroviral drugs to cure animals of HIV-1. “The idea to bring together the excision of HIV-1 DNA ...

A significant number of drug related toxicities or inefficacies in people with HIV may be due to unfavourable interactions between the medications and the way the body handles them, genetic testing ...

Continuing their journey to develop a vaccine for HIV, Oregon Health & Science University researchers have identified a gene that could have prevented their vaccine from working in humans.

a team of researchers has shown that they can remove HIV type 1 (HIV-1) from infected mouse cells using a powerful gene-editing tool. By removing DNA of the deadly virus in rodents, they also ...

Infection with HIV is currently treatable with lifelong antiviral therapy ... CD4 and CD32 found on the cell surface – to direct the delivery of the CRISPR gene editing machinery. Several experts, who ...
