Nanotechnology based gene editing to eradicate HIV brain reservoir in drug abusers

(Florida International University) The study will use nanotechnology with magneto electric nanoparticles (MENPs) to deliver drugs across the blood brain barrier in conjunction with the Cas9/gRNA gene editing strategy that has shown great promise in finding and destroying copies of HIV that have burrowed into the host's genome.
