Researchers in the UK reported the successful births of eight healthy children following mitochondrial donation procedures, which involve transferring nuclear DNA from eggs of women with mitochondrial mutations to donor eggs free of disease-causing mitochondria. The approach, legalized in the UK and recently Australia, aims to prevent maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases. Results from these long-anticipated three-person IVF techniques offer new reproductive options. Concurrently, Singapore's A*STAR launched TISHUMAP, a large spatial transcriptomics study using 10x Genomics’ platform to analyze thousands of clinical cancer tissue samples, merging spatial biology with AI to accelerate biomarker and drug target discovery.
