[global network comprehensive report] according to the daily mail on November 4, 2814, scientists in France have made major discoveries in AIDS treatment recently At present, the new discovery has successfully cured two HIV infected people Of the two patients who were cured, one was infected with AIDS 30 years ago, and the other was confirmed three years ago Strangely, although they were all diagnosed with HIV, they did not detect HIV in their bodies It has been found that HIV genome is very unstable and prone to mutation, which makes it difficult for them to complete the process of replication and transcription in immune cells So, they can't be detected But in fact, this situation rarely occurs in most people with HIV Only about 1% of the infected people can resist the replication and transcription of HIV Scientists call such a mechanism a "spontaneous healing" process, but how it works remains a mystery However, scientists also found that in this process, an enzyme called "editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide" played a great catalytic role It organizes the process of HIV replication This discovery has greatly helped pharmaceutical engineering Adding this enzyme to the drug, through the organization of HIV replication process, can prevent HIV infected people from pathological changes to AIDS patients, greatly reduce the number of AIDS patients, and is expected to completely cure AIDS.
