\n A team of researchers in Seattle believe they\u2019ve found a cure for oral herpes, the virus that causes painful cold sores for 10 million Americans.<\/p>\n

And their discovery also could pave the way to eradicating genital herpes, they believe.<\/p>\n

Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson cancer center in Seattle have succeeded in eliminating 90% of the virus through gene therapy, or what team leader Dr. Keith Jerome described as gene editing, according to their findings, which were published Tuesday in Nature Communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of smart scientists have been really hesitant to think about a cure. To them, a cure was like selling snake oil. It just wasn\u2019t a realistic goal,\u201d Jerome told The Post. \u201cNow, they\u2019re talking about a cure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The researchers used tiny enzymes, transported through the body in harmless viruses, to cut the herpes DNA, Jerome told The Post.<\/p>\n

When the virologist\u2019s team launched experiments a decade ago on infected mice, they used only one kind of enzyme and discovered that sliced genes could heal themselves.<\/p>\n

Over the years, they found that combinations of enzymes \u2014 \u201cmolecular scissors,\u201d as Jerome called them \u2014 could rip the herpes virus to shreds and prevent it from regenerating.<\/p>\n

Jerome told The Post his team is hoping to wipe out oral herpes, which lurks in two-thirds of the world\u2019s population under 50, and they\u2019re also seeking to end genital herpes, which afflicts nearly 500 million people worldwide between the ages of 15 and 49, according to the World Health Organization estimates.<\/p>\n

For infectious disease expert Anthony Nicola, an ex-Brooklynite who does research at Washington State University in Pullman, the success of Jerome\u2019s gene therapy is nothing short of a medical breakthrough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re scientists. We app<\/a>roach everything with caution, but there\u2019s a lot of cautious optimism\u2026 for a cure,\u201d Nicola told The Post. \u201cThis is really exciting. There\u2019s something really new here.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
