At the moment crispr is not recommended for clinical trials


Atrapasueños

Recommended Posts

In 2018 or early 2019, Excision Biotherapeutics will be using CRISPR in clinical trials. They're using it as we speak in animal studies.

Using it to go after the herpes virus is limited use of CRISPR since CRISPR can be used for all kinds of diseases other than viral. So perhaps there will be a delayed approach when it comes to using CRISPR for genetic diseases for example. But I don't see it being an issue in this limited approach for the herpes virus. Just my opinion.

What is wrong with you? Seriously? All you post here is negative bullshit. You intentionally try to bring people down and I really wish they would ban you from these forums.

I couldn't agree more. His negativity truly is hurting people. Please stop, you're not helping anyone including yourself.

@fugazi1Sea hombre y no insulte por mensajes en  privado si va insultar sea hombre y insulteme en publico o no tiene pantalones, 

@SnowAngelAhora es una nota de algun expertos no es mi opinión personal  no todo es positivo en las investigaciones para tener éxito se debe fracasar 

 

@ Fugazi1Sea man and do not insult by messages in private if you are insulting man and insult me in public or have no pants,

@SnowAngel Now is a note of some experts is not my personal opinion not everything is positive in research to succeed must fail

Of course they're not your words. Did I say they were your words? Did I complain to you? I was simply providing my opinion about the article. Why? Are you bothered by my response/opinion? You seem to be overly sensitive.

This article was informative, Atrapasueños only shared an article people may find interesting in reading. if you don't wish to read it don't.

It's not about the article. He ONLY posts negative content. He intentionally seeks to generate negative discussion, and when there is a positive discussion taking place he often attempts to hijack this discussion and steer it in a negative direction. He's been called out on this several times before. I'm gonna call him out on it again.

En otro tema Comentaron que una vacuna dentro de 15 años es positivo 

Mi comentario sólo fue que una vacuna dentro de 15 años no era tan positivo y después empezado los insultos en mensajes privados ahora empecé este tema para ver sus opiniones pero todo lo toman de mal manera no quieren afrontar otros puntos de vista

 

On another topic They commented that a vaccine within 15 years is positive

My comment was only that a vaccine within 15 years was not so positive and then started insults in private messages now I started this topic to see their opinions but all take it the wrong way do not want to face other points of view

That was a thread i was in and i estimated 15 years for a vaccine formula that has not been made yet, Atrapasueños you need to accept these things take time however it doesnt mean a vaccine that dramatically improves day to day living wont come out sooner e.g. Gen-003 or Ian Frazers vaccine are both estimated by 2020 and Tharavax is due for compassionate sale this month.

Entiendo que la ciencia lleva su tiempo, y sobre las vacunas actuales no se si son eficaces para hsv-1 ya que su objetivo principal es el hsv-2 se sabe que estos virus son casi idénticos pero no iguales 

@JJ2017

I understand that science takes time, and on the current vaccines I do not know if they are effective for hsv-1 since its main objective is the hsv-2 it is known that these viruses are almost identical but not the same

Me encontré esta nota y me llevo más hacía bajo ya que excision trabaja principalmente con el hsv-1 aún que el ceo de excision en una entrevista dijo que estaban trabajando tanto hsv -1 y hsv- 2 

 

I found this note and I took it further down since excision works mainly with hsv-1 even though the tom malcolm  of excision in an interview said that they were working both hsv -1 and hsv- 2

Good article from Europe. It pointed out that at least three European biotecs have opted to use TALENS. Our own EDITAS and others have opted for CRISPR. That's fine. The research will determine what works best for HSV. But remember, as Keith Jerome said, even a method that knocks down the virus by only 50% can be a useful tool. It will be interesting to see what's available first: effective HSV vaccines or effective HSV gene editing.

i personally think a Vaccine will come out 1st

I would have thought ZFNs would be the better choice. Smaller to encode, smaller in physical size, high specificity, and (likely) better able to access the latent genome.

Tengo una pequeña duda cuando el virus del hsv penetra el nervio se desprende de su envoltura y proteinas y sólo introduce su ADN o se introduce con toda su envoltura y proteínas?

 

@Cas9  @Evaluate  I have a slight doubt when the hsv virus penetrates the nerve is detached from its wrapping and proteins and only enters its DNA or is introduced with all its wrapping and proteins?

I believe the following is accurate but you would have to check to make sure:
Typically, viruses simply inject their DNA into the cell. But I believe there's another type of entry where the entire virus, including the envelope, enters the cell. But in that scenario. once it's in the neuron, the viral envelope is discarded. So in either case, only the viral DNA remains. Of course once the latent virus starts replicating, those replicated viruses will have their viral envelopes as they proceed to exit the neuron and infect skin cells.

Each step evolved is a lot of hope. It is very exciting to see this technology being developed, I do not know how far it is from being effectively tested on humans. Reports from 2018. After receiving a therapeutic vaccine, whatever it may be, I will have more patience with gene editing. For now, still half anxious.

Thanks for sharing! Realistically how far off is this? And how expensive would it be? (I know there's no definite answers)...just curious.

the article illustrates the advancements in gene editing.  scientists are able to verify the accuracy of their work and with steady adjustments to the "crispr" process are minimizing off-target changes

All of this is just way over my head! I take it crispr is huge in the advancement of science though!

yes.  crispr is the latest method for gene editing.  changes for accuracy occur relatively quick.  it is relevant as there are many labs using crispr for hsv vaccine development.

      Hey Jeremy.... I know only too well that emotional pain you are feeling.... I really do.... and many of us on this site also know that pain.  It's not so much the physical side of having HSV that hurts, it's the stigma and risk of rejection that stings like hell!  You have to do what you think is right as it relates to when you disclose your HSV status when getting to know someone romantically.... I just think it's best to do it relatively early, and certainly before any sexual activity.   Have you looked into dating sites that cater to those with HSV?  I know others have had some luck with meeting partners on these sites.... you don't have to worry about the "disclosure" talk nor would you obviously have to worry about passing along a virus the other person already has.... take a few minutes and search around and see if it's an option you like. By the way, by taking your daily antiviral med and using a condom, your risk of passing along the virus is down around 1.9%.... pretty good odds that if you stick to your regimen you are very unlikely to transmit the virus....keep that in mind when you meet your next girlfriend and need to have "the talk."  That statistic might help calm any concerns about contracting the virus from you. I hope you don't give up.... as tough as it can be to find the right partner, it's still worth trying.... try to stay optimistic and look into some alternate options and see what happens.... all the best.... take care.

      @WilsoInAuswould appreciate your thoughts as have seen you comment quite a bit before!

      Good morning. My name is Marlena and I come from Poland. Sorry, my English is average. For two years I have been in a relationship with a man, for a year and a half I have been struggling with intimate problems. On average, my intimate condition is getting worse every month. Then I feel itching, redness, swelling around the entrance to the vagina, small blisters (not always). Most often it is only red and swollen, itches and then disappears. This state lasts 3-4 days. I come from a small town, doctors don't know what it is. They say it's 'skin irritation'. They prescribe moisturizing creams with lactic acid, probiotics. It doesn't help. I did a blood test for HSV on my own, which is very expensive in Poland, but it does not separate HSV1 from HSV2. The doctor, when he shows these results, says that it's not herpes, but irritation. I would like to add that in the past I suffered from herpes on the lips, then it was a 'scab'. There has never been a scab in an intimate area. Sometimes there are blisters that last 1-2 days, but not always. So what do high blood test results mean? I would like to add that in Poland people do not talk about the HSV virus. It's just that sometimes someone has it on their lips and that's it. Results translation: IgM HSV 1/2: questionable IgG HSV 1/2: result above the measuring range https://files.fm/f/4cpu7uee4

      This is my first time posting here. Im generally pretty anxious when it comes to anything to do with health conditions etc. For context I have had jock itch and fungal infections previously on my buttcrack. I have had 0 new sexual partners and I am not concerned about my girlfriend cheating at all. 4 days ago my balls began itching and red pretty much all over, as you can see some general flakeyness and what looks to be a lesion I noticed on Monday when I checked them out. My partner and I do get cold sores from time to time so the anxious part of me is concerned this could be herpes, but at the same time could be some sort of fungal infection. My doctor cant see me until tomorrow so I just have to worry until then. There is no pain and nothing on the penis or anywhere else, just general itchiness. Any ideas if this is herpes or not?

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.
