Epigenetic editing banishes hepatitis B virus
Original: 'Epigenetic' editing banishes hepatitis B virus
Researchers report that 'epigenetic' editing — altering gene activity without cutting DNA — can silence and eliminate hepatitis B virus. The approach targets the virus's genetic material in infected liver cells, raising hopes for a functional cure for the hundreds of millions living with chronic hepatitis B, a leading cause of liver cancer.
Why now: New research published in Nature suggests a possible functional cure for chronic hepatitis B, a disease affecting hundreds of millions worldwide.
