In 2023, the first drug making use of CRISPR gene editing, Casgevy, was approved for use in the United Kingdom, to cure sickle-cell disease and beta thalassemia. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Casgevy was approved for use in the United States on December 8, 2023, by the Food and Drug Administration .
On 26 November 2018, The CRISPR Journal published ahead of print an article by He, Ryan Ferrell, Chen Yuanlin, Qin Jinzhou, and Chen Yangran in which the authors justified the ethical use of CRISPR gene editing in humans. [74] As the news of CRISPR babies broke out, the editors reexamined the paper and retracted it on 28 December, announcing:
In five of the seven cases of definite or possible HIV cure, doctors found donors who had rare, natural defects in both copies of a gene that gives rise to a particular protein, called CCR5, on ...
CRISPR, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, is a technology researchers use to selectively modify DNA, the carrier of genetic information that the body uses to function ...
Other theoretical cures to HIV-1 have been proposed. One supposed cure to HIV-1 involves the creation of a disease-resistant immune system through transplantation of autologous, gene-modified (HIV-1-resistant) hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells (GM-HSPC).
An American research team reported that it has possibly cured HIV in a woman for the first time. Building on past successes, as well as failures, in the HIV-cure research field, these scientists ...
CRISPR technology is a promising tool not only for genetic disease corrections but also for the prevention of viral and bacterial infections. Utilizing CRISPR–Cas therapies, researchers have targeted viral infections like HSV-1, EBV, HIV-1, HBV, HPV, and HCV, with ongoing clinical trials for an HIV-clearing strategy named EBT-101 ...
Modifying human embryos to give the CCR5 Δ32 allele protects them from the disease. An other use would be to cure genetic disorders. In the first study published regarding human germline engineering, the researchers attempted to edit the HBB gene which codes for the human β-globin protein. HBB mutations produce β-thalassaemia, which can be ...
