Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but they only showed it works in vitro, so basically in a petri dish. Which means there’s still animal tests and human tests coming (if the animal tests are promising) and that’s were most of the cures fail. Because a mouse is wildly different from a Petri dish and a human is wildly different from a mouse.
the researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.
Am I the only one kinda scared about mRNA treatments?
I have always wondered how a zombie apocalypse could come about, like, from a biochemical perspective, and mRNA seems to me a very good candidate.
Obviously it has a massive potential to cure otherwise incurable diseases, like genetic defects…
Edit: Sheesh thanks for the downvotes, teaches me to ask a question on Lemmy.
