2 days ago, I posted on a new form of genetic editing to white blood cells to fight HIV. Gene modification & CRISPR aren't new, but they're still novel. These researchers are touting an injection that would be the final treatment for the virus.
Since that, almost every article I've seen has been over this topic. Would this be great? That depends on a lot of things, like affordability & possible reactions. But more so, is that this is still not certain.
Research brings new ideas to the table fairly often. Many of them, if not most, don't pan out. They may add to the knowledge base, but they aren't the silver bullet people sought. Will this be? I don't know. I doubt anyone does at this time.
What I'm saying is, while this looks promising, it might not be. Don't pin your hopes of this, it could fail. This is just 1 basket & you don't have that many eggs to lose.
Cya...
