[QUOTE=Eudoxia;22285207]Aren't there different branches of Ebola, that would each one require different treatments? Ebola Zaire is the only one that comes to mind.[/QUOTE]
Theoretically if they can target one strain, they can adapt it to target any strain.
And given that they are directly injecting code into the cell, they can effectively destroy them with virtually zero chance of the virus successfully evolving to defend against it.
Assuming I understand the tech correctly.
Well that's good news.
Fuck yeah breast cancer now this ? Awesome.
fuck pei :colbert:
[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;22287448]They should try to apply this method to other viruses, such as the common cold and/or herpes.

actually they probably already have.[/QUOTE]
Getting a cold is actually good for you. It's what fights whatever sickness off.
Every time I hear "Ebola" I think 28 Days later.

Ebola makes my eyes bleed.

And everything else in your body.
man Science is on a roll this year.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;22286330]That is some pretty serious news, it sounds like that strategy could be tailored to a lot of other viruses that operate in similar ways.
Only problem is that it takes multiple injections over a span of time, which is way too labor-intensive and expensive to help po' African folk.[/QUOTE]
Smallpox?
[QUOTE=yawmwen;22286502]
Flu is statistically much more deadly than ebola, ebola is just a very very gruesome and painful way to die.[/QUOTE]
I don't see the seasonal Flu as having a 90%+ mortality rate.
Yay :neckbeard:
:science:
Nobody here read Executive Orders :crying:
Lasers, teleportation, and now a cure for Ebola? Just throw in flying cars and it's officially the future.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;22310134]I don't see the seasonal Flu as having a 90%+ mortality rate.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but it still kills more people because of how much more easily it can be spread.
[QUOTE=Termy58;22289032]PRINCE.EDWARD.ISLAND (CBC) - The deadly Ebola virus has been treated successfully in monkeys using a new technology, researchers say.
wonder how many monkeys we gave Ebola before we got it[/QUOTE]
"Darn in Morton, this one didn't work either. Go toss this corpse and the other ones from trial #84 and get me a new batch by noon."
Prince Edward Island, they doing secret research on deadly viruses on a remote island?
[QUOTE=Kendra;22285368]That's fantastic, since ebola is pretty much the worst virus out there. D:[/QUOTE]
Well, not most dang... Not most outspread, but it's the most terrible of all I'd say. I don't know any other viruses that makes your intestines bleed out of all holes you have in your body.
Anyone else thought of it being used for different viruses too? Because of this sentence [quote]The treatment prevents the Ebola virus from replicating while the immune system gears up to fight it.[/quote]
It seems as it's pretty much a mass-usable cure, you let the immune system prepare and it does the rest.
Correct me if i'm wrong or give me boxes if my idea is just plain dumb.
See? This is why PETA can kiss my ass...
