Trisomy is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome. This means that the affected person has ...

MIT has developed a DNA sensor that can detect HPV and HIV infections through voltage changes. The sensor is durable and ...

The Australian researchers developed a novel mRNA-based technology capable of reaching the white blood cells where HIV lies ...

Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to ...

Qatar closes airspace, U.S. Embassy tells Americans to shelter in place ...

In a historic leap forward for HIV research, scientists have successfully deleted the HIV genome from living human immune cells and, in a separate advance, exposed hidden reservoirs of the virus using ...

EBT-101-001 is the first gene therapy administered intravenously designed to attack the latent HIV proviral genome with an adeno-associated virus 9 CRISPR Cas9 multiplex. The results of the phase ...

EBT-101 did not maintain HIV viral suppression when used alone at the initial dose tested, though it may have delayed viral rebound in one participant. Also, its good safety profile suggests that ...

Researchers hoped they could send CRISPR to those cells and, by cutting the HIV DNA lurking there at two spots, slice out the virus. In the Phase 1 trial, investigators administered the treatment ...

Additionally, if antiviral treatment is stopped, HIV can rebound from reservoirs of other infected cells. “Our aim is to develop a robust and safe combinatorial CRISPR-Cas regimen, striving for an ...

For the first time, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has been successfully employed to cut HIV out of infected cells. The researchers hope this could one day lead to treatment that renders ...
