Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 persisted as a global health challenge affecting approximately 39 million individuals worldwide, with current antiretroviral therapy requiring lifelong adherence while failing to eliminate latent viral reservoirs. CRISPR-Ca...
2026 | IAA Journal of Scientific Research | Pp. 18-22
Diabetes mellitus remained a leading metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin production and secretion due to β-cell dysfunction or loss. Conventional pharmacotherapy alleviates hyperglycemia but does not restore endogenous β-cell mass. The discov...
