Researchers developed a CRISPR adenine base editor delivered via a GalNAc-lipid nanoparticle that makes a single DNA edit in liver cells to inactivate ANGPTL3, a gene linked to high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. In nonhuman primates, a single infusion cut circulating ANGPTL3 protein by over 90%, an effect sustained for three years, while animal models showed LDL-C reductions of 40-50% and triglyceride reductions of 50-70%, with no detectable off-target edits found in vitro.

The US Air Force tested a setup where an F-22 Raptor pilot sent high-level tactical commands to Anduril's YFQ-44A Fury drone via a tactical data link while both aircraft flew out of Edwards Air Force Base. The drone's onboard autonomy software translated those directives into flight maneuvers and simulated combat tasks, while the human pilot retained decision-making control rather than flying the drone directly.

Autheo's THEO token had been reviewed by Halborn, CertiK and Avelar Labs, but on October 13, 2026 a suspected bridge exploit allowed 19 million unauthorized tokens onto Base.
