Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a germ that causes a lifelong infection that slowly weakens the immune system. Though ...

Last year, researchers in Amsterdam used gene-editing technology to eliminate all traces of the virus from cells in the ...

A study of more than 3,000 genomes has traced a gene mutation that confers HIV resistance to a person who lived near the Black Sea around 7000 B.C.

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 ...

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 ...

Reseachers say they've taken a major step toward finding a cure for HIV. As The Guardian reports, scientists at the Peter ...

We have never seen anything close to as good as what we are seeing, in terms of how well we are able to reveal this virus.' ...

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 ...

Gene-editing therapy aimed at two targets -- HIV-1, the virus that causes AIDS, and CCR5, the co-receptor that helps the virus get into cells -- can effectively eliminate HIV infection ...

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 ...
