A cat which has been genetically altered to make cells that resist a version of the AIDS virus that affects cats, along with a jellyfish protein that makes it glow green, is seen in this photo. US scientists have developed a strain of green-glowing cats with cells that resist infection from a virus that causes feline AIDS, a finding that may help prevent the disease in cats and advance AIDS research in people.

THE CURE FOR FIV??
THE CURE FOR FIV??
THERE WILL BE SO MANY MORE CATS OH MY GOD
Wait, this ridiculous picture is legit? Shaking in fear for bird populations. Damn, I kinda wish they would just slam the lid on the cat aspect and keep up the development of a drug for humans.
There actually is a good reason for making cats glowy like this. It’s easier than having to.. umm.. test all the cells for the proteins to make sure the genes get expressed. I’ve heard it can involve a blender…
