For the first time in history, scientists have used tehnkata editing of genes to eliminate the viral DNA of the HIV virus genomes of three different animal samples, to ensure complete stop as a result of the virus.
The technique has been used in animals as with latent and acute HIV virus, and in addition it has been successful and in the treatment of human immune cells, which were transplanted in mice.
The team accepts that a "significant step" on the path to clinical trials of this technique for the elimination of the virus in humans.
The technique works by directing proteins resembling a "scissors" to certain sections of DNA in the cell and causing them to change or edit these sections in a certain way.
It is important that the technique has been successful in various forms of the disease: in both acute infection, and during latent infection.
