Dr He used CRISPR or Cas9, which stands for CRISPR-associated protein 9, to target a gene called CCR5, which codes for a protein used by the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) to enter cells.

These sites bind to coreceptor CCR5 or CXCR4 on the membrane of the host cell (center panel), an event that initiates steps that culminate in the fusion of the HIV envelope with the host cell ...
