. . Lando Norris says a combination of poor timing and failure to complete a clean lap left him stranded in Sakhir on Saturday night in the second quarter.

The gene editing treatment holds great promise in the fight against sickle cell disease

Mick Schumacher survived an early mistake when he took Briton Calum Ilott to the F2 title ahead of his F1 debut next season, where he will come to the paddock with Haas

. . Scientists see promising early results from the first studies testing gene editing for painful, inherited blood disorders that affect millions worldwide, particularly blacks. Doctors hope that the one-time treatment, which permanently changes the DNA in blood cells using a tool called CRISPR, can treat, and potentially cure, sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. Partial results were presented at a conference of the American Society of Hematology on Saturday and some were published by the New England Journal of Medicine. Doctors described 10 patients who were removed for at least a few months

Bacteria evolved CRISPR as a form of "genetic vandalism" to repel pathogens, so it works great in bacteria but runs into various obstacles when researchers try to implement it in humans The latest CRISPR company by Jennifer Doudna plans to overcome these obstacles with an all-new CRISPR platform that doesn't rely on molecules found in nature
