Gene Editing Mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9

Scientists have achieved a monumental milestone in medicine: using CRISPR gene-editing technology to remove HIV DNA from infected human cells permanently. Unlike traditional treatments that suppress the virus, this therapy targets and excises the viral genome, preventing HIV from returning. The breakthrough, demonstrated in laboratory settings, could revolutionize the fight against AIDS, potentially providing a functional cure. CRISPR’s precision allows it to selectively remove harmful sequences
