Scientists claim regarding HIV, infected genes can be extracted from the cell

Wednesday, March 20, 2024

Scientists have said that they have successfully isolated HIV from cells using gene editing technology.

According to scientists, they have used the Nobel Prize winning CRISPR gene editing technology to cut and isolate HIV from the infected cell.

Using this technique, they have separated the infected parts by cutting the DNA like scissors at the molecular level.

The team at the University of Amsterdam says that they hope that with this method HIV infection can be removed from the body.

However, giving more information about the research related to this in a medical conference this week, the team said that the current research proves the "concept" that in this way the infected part of the cell's DNA can be removed, but this method It is not that HIV will be cured soon.

The medicines available till now treat HIV by stopping it from spreading, but they cannot completely eliminate it from the body.
