An Artificial Virus May One Day Cure the Deadliest
Diseases We Know
"One method of gene editing you may not have known about actually
involves the participation of some of the most fearsome foes we've
ever known: viruses. But these aren’t the kinds of viruses that infect
healthy cells and plunge the world into global pandemics. In a new
study published in Nature Communications on Tuesday, scientists
have shown that it’s possible to modify a bacteria-killing virus—
known as a phage—to deliver much more DNA to human cells than
is possible through current gene editing techniques.
The result could mean that gene therapy treatments for diseases
could be completed in a single step."
