Get an effective treatment that eliminates the world's most serious disease

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – According to a British report, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found a cure for the world's most serious disease, AIDS.

The US research team said that recent scientific studies could help treat millions of people living with HIV, who, until now, are an incurable disease that can be hidden and therefore difficult to detect . I healed him.

According to scientists, they have managed to make the AIDS virus, hidden in cells, visible to the immune system by targeting the TAT gene inside the brain, which expels the virus from its hiding place, making it vulnerable to immune system and the drugs currently used to treat the disease. , Which opens the way to his control.

Victims are currently treating antiretrovirals, which slow the progression of the disease, by reducing the virus's doubling in the blood of the carrier, called "viral pregnancy". According to the researchers, the activation of the "TAT" gene will adequately lead to the production of infected cells, and then discriminate, and destroyed by the immune system.

"During the infection, the HIV virus, which causes AIDS, enters the nucleus of its human host cell and blends into its genome, then helps the TAT gene," Ji said. Liang, bioengineering professor and senior author of the study. In seizure of the cellular mechanism to produce new copies of the virus, possibly explode inside the cell, infect neighboring cells with an infection.

"The infected cells will function naturally despite infection by the virus, as long as the gene is not activated, to produce new copies, and the problem is that the mechanism of action of this gene is random, whether it is active or inactive, the transformation can occur from the inactive state, the automatic activation, and therefore difficult at that time, helps the immune system drugs to resist infected cells when they appear.

"The result of the research is that targeting the virus's launch pad, TAT, with drugs that activate it, will produce the infected cells adequately, and then destroy them with the immune system."
