A new way to eradicate HIV from the body could one day be turned into a cure for infection by this virus, although it hasn't yet been shown to work in people. The strategy uses a relatively recent ...

The therapy, named EBT-101, involves using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to treat HIV. This potential treatment strategy has been studied in animal models since the development of CRISPR-Cas9 in 2012.

Scientists say they have successfully eliminated HIV from infected cells, using Nobel Prize-winning Crispr gene-editing technology. Working like scissors, but at the molecular level, it cuts DNA ...

US biotech Excision BioTherapeutics has raised $60 million to test a potential HIV cure in the clinic, which would use CRISPR technology to snip out the viral code from human cells and tissues.

This 2011 electron microscope image from the Centers for Disease Control shows HIV virions. Scientists using the gene-editing tool CRISPR to try to cure a patient's HIV infection. (Maureen Metcalfe, ...

Novel Treatment Based on Gene Editing Safely and Effectively Removes HIV-Like Virus from Genomes of Non-Human Primates Aug. 17, 2023 — A single injection of a novel CRISPR gene-editing treatment ...

He claims to have used Crispr to target and knock out the CCR5 gene in human embryos, which is linked to HIV infection. And then he did something that shocked the scientific community. He ...

Since the discovery of precise gene editing technologies like CRISPR, researchers have been investigating the possibility of ‘erasing’ HIV DNA from cells, as a potential cure strategy.

CRISPR stocks are high risk but hold potential for aggressive investors. CRISPR Therapeutics and its partner Vertex Pharmaceuticals have the only approved CRISPR therapy. Several other biotech ...

CRISPR Therapeutics recently proved it was capable of getting a drug approved. Next, its oncology and cardiovascular disease programs will need to show value. It may soon face some financial ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

CRISPR Therapeutics AG is a gene editing company, which engages in the development of transformative gene-based medicines for serious diseases using its proprietary CRISPR/Cas9 platform.
