人类一直在与艾滋病进行斗争，但至今未能研制出能够彻底治愈的特效药物。最近科学界传来好消息，研究人员成功清除小鼠体内的艾滋病毒，或将开启临床实验，这意味着艾滋病有望被治愈。 Researchers who eliminated HIV from mice say their results are an important advance in efforts to develop a cure for HIV infection in people. 研究人员近日清除了小鼠体内的艾滋病毒，并表示这项研究结果是在研究治愈人类艾滋病毒感染方面取得的重要进展。 This is the first time that the AIDS-causing virus has been eradicated from the genomes of living animals, according to the authors of the study. 研究报告的作者称，这是人类首次从活体动物的基因组中完全消除艾滋病毒。 genome ['dʒiːnəʊm]：基因组；染色体组 "Our study shows that treatment to suppress HIV replication and gene editing therapy, when given sequentially, can eliminate HIV from cells and organs of infected animals," said co-senior author Kamel Khalili, professor and chair of neuroscience at Temple University in Philadelphia. “我们的研究表明，循序进行抑制艾滋病毒复制的治疗和基因编辑治疗可以消除被感染动物体内细胞和器官中的艾滋病毒”，费城天普大学神经科学教授兼主任、论文资深合著者卡迈勒•卡利利说。 |
