也许有一天,研究人员会将两种天才的杀手病毒(HIV和埃博拉病毒)结合在一起,以一种强有力的新型基因疗法用于囊性纤维变性和其他肺疾病的治疗。囊性纤维变性是一种由粘通阻塞肺脏和肠道而导致过早死亡的遗传性疾病。英国约有6500人罹患囊性纤维变性疾病。基因治疗旨在通过遗传工程处理的病毒释放功能基因以使受损细胞恢复其正常功能。但几乎很少有病毒能成功地感染气道的大多数 One day, researchers might combine two genius killer viruses, HIV and Ebola, with a powerful novel gene therapy for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and other lung diseases. Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease caused by blocking the lungs and intestines leading to premature death. About 6,500 people in the UK suffer from cystic fibrosis. Gene therapy aims to release damaged genes back to their normal function by genetically engineered viruses that release functional genes. However, very few viruses can successfully infect the majority of the airways
