“Young researchers such as myself…can provide a new perspective and contribute to the conversation for a cure,” says Chidera Ejikeme.

This finding from early laboratory research may aid in the quest for cure therapies.

CRISPR gene editing eliminates HIV in mice

However, the presence of such persistent virus has not been found to be associated with liver damage.

Trying to mimic the “Berlin Patient” cure, researchers edited the CCR5 gene in the immune stem cells of a man with leukemia and HIV.

The increasing mastery over the virus is one of humanity’s crowning achievements.

This amfAR grant hopes to find out. It’s part of $1.16 million in new funding from ARCHE.

It likely aided the human species’s expansion but was eventually outmatched by an evolving virus.

Researchers conducted an analysis of hep C treatment outcomes in those also living with HIV in Western nations.

In a recent study, the molecule delayed viral rebound in latently infected cells after antiretrovirals were discontinued.
