Another breakthrough has been made as experts continuously find the cure for the AIDs disease. Sources told that scientists were already one step closer towards defeating the illness and finding its immediate cure. What could be the possible cure for it? Could it be made available everywhere?

According to Science Times, the process of ridding HIV off the cell was made with a lab mouse by the scientists from the Temple University School of Medicine. With that, it is believed that the cure for the AIDs is finally on the palm of the man's hand. Moreover, it was reiterated that the said method was led by Professor Kamel Khalili, Director for Temple University's Neurovirology Department. Sources told that the pool of experts used an instrument called the CRISPR technology that would help them excise the parts of the DNA from the mouse.

Moreover, reports told that the said CRISPR would remove the HIV virus and put an end on its replication. It would be like a little scissor that would eventually cut the parts of the infected genes and substitute a news one. With this, CBS News reported that  Khalili and his team were shocked with the outcome of their research and development, as they kept on looking for answers to the long-forgotten questions of men. As he stated:

"Over our years of research, all of this was frankly a big surprise. This research, so far, has yielded all pleasant surprises, frankly. I never thought that this CRISPR system was going to be working out so beautifully with such efficiency and precision when it first came onto the scene,"

However, it was reiterated that the said improvement in the field of science would not be permanent as trials are still in its early stage. Reports told that they would try to see their finding on their upcoming trials with the primates. And if the test would then be successful, the team would try to test it on humans to finally conclude their research.
