In the article, “Permanent Cure for the Common Cold” (BTW) I learned that when the temperature started to change during the winter, the flu season came back again. What if the scientist could find a way to make sure that none of us gets sick with these diseases again. Turts out, they may be on the road to doing just that-by using what is essentially a pair of molecular scissors. How does it work? When a cold or flu virus spreads throughout your body. It does so by taking over cells and making copies of itself at the molecular level. Once the disease has taken over cells this way, it spreads and continues to replicate throughout the body. The cell’s RNA. But now, scientists have discovered a tool called the CRISPR Cas13, a gene-editing tool that’s basically like a pair of molecular scissors. The CRISPR can target the part of the RNA that’s carrying the virus, and just “cut” it out.
I think this is a good way to cut out the flu, because many people get affected by this every year, at least twice a year. This discovered fight with these virtues in order to kill it. I think using these medicines can help many people, because no one likes to be sick during the winter or any season during the year.
Dear, Monica: I am interested and surprised by your post about the flu, “Permanent Cure for The Flu” because I think it is interesting how there might be a cure for the flu. I also think that it is amazing how the cell of the flue can be cut out. Lastly, the flu does affect many people and is a common disease. One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is, “The CRISPR can target the part of the RNA that’s carrying the virus, and just “cut” it out. “I think this is interesting because I didn’t know this was possible. I also think it is amazing how this could be discovered. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I find your writing very interesting.
Erika.
Dear Monica
I am very impressed by your post about “Permanent cure for the flu” because it is impressive that they are trying to find a cure for it. I think this is impressive because the flu is a sessional sickness that gets people sick.
One sentence that I found interesting is that “ When a cold or flu virus spreads throughout your body. It does so by taking over cells and making copies of itself at the molecular level.” I think that this is interesting because it’s a virus that spreads through the body.
Thank you for writing this amazing post about the flu. I am looking forward to your next post.
Dear Monica :
I am very surprised by your post, “Permanent cure for the flu,” because of the fact that scientists are trying to find a permanent cure.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “ they may be on the road to doing just that by using what is essentially a pair of molecular scissors. How does it work? When a cold or flu virus spreads throughout your body. It does so by taking over cells and making copies of itself at the molecular level.” I think this is very explainable because it goes into very specific detail.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because these are actually very interesting
