Researchers in Japan have announced a significant breakthrough in the field of gene therapy. This was reported by Upl.uz. This achievement could fundamentally change the methods of treating Down syndrome. According to information published by the scientific portal Vietnam.vn and the journal PNAS Nexus, scientists have successfully removed an extra copy of chromosome 21 for the first time. Chromosome 21 is considered the main cause of this genetic disorder. In laboratory conditions, the capabilities of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system were demonstrated on human cells. This technology works like a molecular "scalpel," identifying the extra chromosome copy and removing it without damaging the remaining 46 chromosomes. The research team led by Professor Ryotaro Hasidzume from Mie University developed special guiding molecules that specifically target the third copy of chromosome 21. The results of laboratory tests showed that after genetic intervention, significant biological indicators were restored in 37.5 percent of cases. In these cells, the growth and division rates, gene activity, and antioxidant defense returned to normal. It was also found that the activity of genes responsible for the development of the nervous system increased, indicating the positive effects of this therapy. Down syndrome, or trisomy 21, occurs in approximately 1 in 700 newborns. This condition leads to developmental issues and health risks, including congenital heart defects and susceptibility to other diseases. Until now, medicine has focused only on measures to alleviate symptoms, and there was no possibility of addressing the genetic cause. Despite the results achieved, the authors of the study emphasize that this technology is not yet ready for clinical application. The main problem is the risk of accidentally damaging healthy genes during the gene editing process. Without thoroughly studying such safety issues and long-term effects, testing on humans cannot be conducted. At the same time, this achievement opens new possibilities in the field of gene therapy and regenerative medicine. The CRISPR-Cas9 technology is inspired by the natural defense mechanism of bacteria. Bacteria use this system to identify and cut the DNA of viruses. Scientists have adapted this natural process for editing the genes of humans and other organisms. This has ushered in a new era in gene therapy.

Famous agent Dmitriy Selyuk commented on the appointment of Valery Karpin as the head coach of the "Dinamo" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It has become known that Karpin took over the "white-blue" team in June. Until now, he has been performing both roles equally — he also manages the Russian national team. Selyuk emphasized that currently, "Dinamo" seems to be showing weak performance. According to the agent, the capital club should have chosen Frank Artiga as the head coach. He reminded that Frank Artiga had coached for ten years at "Barcelona" and believes that "Dinamo" should have sent a limousine to Artiga to invite him to their team. According to Selyuk, the team thinks they have acquired a strong coach, but time will tell everything. On Saturday, "Dinamo" will play against "Rostov" in the second round of the Premier League. The situations in the game can be followed through text broadcasting. In the first round, the "white-blues" played a draw against the "Baltika" team — the score was 1:1.

Igor Fedotov, a former referee who officiated in the Russian Premier League, commented on Anton Zabolotny's dismissal during the match between Spartak and Baltika. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Referee Sergey Karasyov showed Zabolotny a red card after VAR intervention. According to Fedotov, he does not agree with Karasyov's decision. Firstly, the referee did not see the incident in full. Secondly, a yellow card should have been issued in this situation. Zabolotny was trying to reach the ball, his foot's studs touched the ball, and it could have made contact with the thigh area, but his foot was bent and shifted sideways. For this reason, he believes there is no element of forceful pressing. Fedotov assessed this situation as ambiguous and thinks that a yellow card would have been more appropriate. It is known that Anton Zabolotny left the field in the 11th minute of the match. As a result, the Spartak team had to play with ten players during the match, complicating their task. The game process at the "Lukoyl Arena" can be followed through the text broadcast provided by the LiveResult portal.
