**Gene-Editing Miracle**: College Student Sees the World Through New Eyes After Experimental Treatment

by

Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri – A college student, Olivia Cook, with a rare inherited retinal disorder known as Leber congenital amaurosis or LCA, received an experimental gene-editing treatment that has significantly improved her vision. Born with limited central vision, Cook underwent surgery to correct the form of blindness she had, which resulted in her now being able to see more clearly, especially in dimly lit environments. The treatment utilized the gene-editing tool CRISPR, …

Gene-Editing Breakthrough: Scientists Eliminate HIV from Infected Cells Using Crispr Technology

by

London, United Kingdom – Scientists in London have made a groundbreaking discovery by successfully using Crispr gene-editing technology to eliminate HIV from infected cells. The Nobel Prize-winning technology functions like molecular scissors, allowing scientists to remove or deactivate the “bad” bits of DNA within cells. The ultimate goal is to completely rid the body of the HIV virus, a feat that current HIV medicines are unable to achieve. Although this breakthrough shows promise, more extensive …
