• In a revolutionary advancement, researchers have used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to completely eliminate HIV-1 DNA from human immune cells in laboratory conditions—without damaging surrounding cell structures.

    The study, conducted by scientists at Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, achieved what antiviral drugs have never done: removing the latent HIV reservoir from T-cells, the virus’s primary hiding place.

    Even more promising, the edited cells showed immunity to reinfection, a sign that gene editing could not only treat but potentially cure HIV.

    While human clinical trials are still a few years away, this represents a major turning point in the fight against AIDS and could pave the way toward a functional or complete cure in the future.

  • No wires. No surgery. No scars.
    This rice-sized pacemaker developed by Northwestern University could revolutionize heart treatment — healing the heart from within and vanishing once it’s done.

    A future where implants repair and then disappear? It’s no longer science fiction.

  • Japan is pushing the boundaries of medical science with the development of an artificial womb system, aimed at supporting premature and critically ill fetuses. The device, part of the "EVE therapy" project, simulates the womb environment using a biobag filled with nutrient-rich fluids and connected to life-support tubes that mimic the placenta.

    Although the idea of full external gestation remains a distant goal, early experiments on animals show promising results. This technology could soon revolutionize neonatal care, reducing complications from premature births and increasing survival rates. As research progresses, bioethics committees are closely evaluating the societal, legal, and emotional implications of this breakthrough.
