Researchers from the US Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center recently published research results in the international academic journal “Nature” demonstrating that herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1) was neutralized using “Gene Drive” technology . Gene drive refers to a technology that changes the genes of a specific organism and affects the entire organism. The international academic journal Science said: “Scientists highly appreciate the potential of gene drive technology” and added: “It could be an opportunity to pave the way for modifying viral populations through genetic manipulation and using it as a new treatment.”
