Researchers at Amsterdam University Medical Centre have made significant strides toward eradicating the HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus from cells in a lab environment. They utilized Crispr-Cas, a gene-editing tool that has been recognized with a Nobel Prize. This tool functions like molecular scissors, snipping DNA at designated points to remove undesirable genes or insert new genetic material. The team's goal is to create an effective and safe Crispr-Cas protocol that could potentially offer an 'HIV cure for all.'
