Scotland is celebrating its first World Cup appearance in 27 years with a commemorative 20-pound note featuring Scott McTominay's stunning bicycle kick. Only 100 notes exist, with proceeds supporting homeless families.
A 19-year-old from British Columbia became the first person ever cured using "prime editing," a breakthrough gene therapy that fixed a fatal immune disorder. The treatment freed him from daily medication and the constant fear of life-threatening infections.
Scientists are developing a breakthrough gene editing approach that spreads between cells like neighbors sharing flyers. This could treat far more diseases by reaching dramatically more cells in the body.
Scientists have developed a new gene editing approach that spreads healing changes from cell to cell, dramatically increasing its reach in the body. This breakthrough could transform treatment for countless genetic diseases that were previously too difficult to address.
Australian researchers developed an AI system that makes gene editing safer by protecting healthy genes during treatment. The breakthrough could transform how doctors treat genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
University of Virginia researchers used gene editing to fix the DNA mutation causing a deadly form of epilepsy, potentially opening the door to cures for inherited brain disorders. The technique eliminated seizures in lab mice and improved their movement and cognitive function.
Scientists are calling new gene editing treatments a potential "functional cure" for sickle cell disease, offering hope to millions. Early results show patients living pain-free after a single treatment.

After a deadly fungus wiped out billions of American chestnut trees, scientists are using gene editing to bring them back. Three new approaches could also save coral reefs, black-footed ferrets, and other threatened species.
Scientists created wheat that produces up to 93% less of a toxic compound when toasted, potentially making your morning toast much safer. The breakthrough uses precise gene editing without reducing crop yields.
A new biotech company just launched with $230 million to develop a one-time cure for a genetic disease affecting thousands. Serapha Bio aims to fix the root cause of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency using cutting-edge gene editing.
An 18-year-old patient with a once-incurable immune disease now shows no symptoms after Montreal doctors used groundbreaking "prime editing" gene therapy. A year after treatment, he's living a normal life with three-quarters of his diseased cells permanently corrected.
Scientists from Harvard, MIT, and Case Western used CRISPR gene editing to extend the lives of mice with deadly prion diseases by 60%. While the treatment isn't ready for humans yet, it marks a breakthrough against diseases that currently have no cure.
A bacterial defense system discovered in 2012 has transformed into life-saving treatments for cancer and rare diseases. Scientists refined CRISPR gene editing from crude molecular scissors into precision medicine that's curing patients today.
A one-time gene-editing treatment slashed bad cholesterol by 62% in early human trials, offering hope for millions who struggle with heart disease prevention. Eli Lilly's breakthrough therapy showed no serious side effects in the study.
Ty Sperle, 18, became the first person in the world cured of chronic granulomatous disease through groundbreaking gene editing treatment. His success opens the door for curing countless other rare genetic diseases affecting children everywhere.
When Indian automaker Mahindra tripled production of its limited-edition Batman electric SUV, original buyers felt betrayed. Now the company is making it right with full refunds.
Oliver Burkeman's new philosophy of "imperfectionism" teaches readers how letting go of impossible standards helps them focus on what truly matters. His TED interview reveals why accepting our limitations is the key to living a fuller life.
Australian researchers are exploring gene editing to help kelp withstand warming oceans and climate change. The breakthrough could save underwater forests that support thousands of marine species along 8,000 kilometers of coastline.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul just announced a pilot program requiring repeat speeders to install smart devices that prevent excessive speeding. The technology taps into existing systems that already display speed limits in many modern cars.
