Scientists are testing CRISPR gene editing as a potential HIV cure after successfully removing the virus from infected cells in lab studies. Here’s what the research means and what comes next.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Researchers at Temple University's School of Medicine and a team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center say they have, for the first time, eliminated the DNA of HIV-1, the ...

Investigators from Whitehead Institute, the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have used CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to identify three promising ...

OMAHA, Neb. -- Scientists made major medical announcement Tuesday involving an important step toward a possible cure for HIV. Researchers say a "cure for HIV is possible" after they were able to ...

He Jiankui, the scientist who claimed to create the first gene-edited babies using CRISPR, is one of the most influential ...

CRISPR-Cas 9 is a gene-editing tool that made it possible to rewrite any organism's genetic code and tackle genetic diseases more effectively. Known as genetic scissors, CRISPR identifies a DNA ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are core components of fast-evolving therapeutic gene editing tools. Scientists have used CRISPR ...

A major bottleneck in curing HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is that the virus can hide in an inactive form within resting white blood cells, which play a crucial role in coordinating the immune ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...
