Original: 'Epigenetic' editing banishes hepatitis B virus
Researchers report that epigenetic editing can silence and eliminate hepatitis B virus, offering a potential functional cure for a chronic infection affecting hundreds of millions worldwide. The approach modifies gene activity without cutting DNA, avoiding risks tied to conventional gene editing. The findings, published in Nature, are drawing attention for opening a possible path beyond current lifelong antiviral treatments.
Why now: A promising new strategy against a widespread chronic disease was just published in Nature, sparking discussion about a potential cure.
