An unconventional approach to reproduction is reportedly reducing the risk of metabolic disease.Three-person in vitro fertilization (IVF), a new concept developed by scientists in New Castle, U.K., has resulted in the births of eight healthy children.In the study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers found that pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are a "common cause" of severe and often fatal inherited metabolic disease.SPERM DONOR'S GENETIC MUTATION LINKED TO CANCER IN 10 CONCEIVED CHILDRENThis DNA in the mother's mitochondria can cause "harmful mutations" in children, which can lead to diseases that affect tissues in the heart, brain and muscles, according to the journal Nature.At the Newcastle Fertility Centre, 22 women with pathogenic mtDNA variants underwent a "pronuclear transfer," in which they received a mitochondrial donation.This involved the transfer of the nucleus of a fertilized egg with "faulty mitochondria" into a donor egg cell with healthy mitochondria, Nature detailed.MEN FACE DOUBLE DEMENTIA RISK IF THEY HAVE A HIDDEN GENETIC MUTATIONThe result includes nuclear DNA from both the biological mother and father, as well as mitochondrial DNA from the separate egg donor.From this, eight children were born healthy, with no levels or low levels of mtDNA detected in their blood.The researchers noted that one child did develop hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) as the child's mother had hyperlipidemia during pregnancy but both conditions responded to treatment.Another child developed infant myoclonic epilepsy a rare type of epilepsy that typically affects infants between 6 months and 3 years old which concluded in "spontaneous remission.""At the time of this report, all the children have made normal developmental progress," the researchers noted.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERDr. Zev Williams, director of Columbia University Fertility Center in New York City, said this latest research "marks an important milestone.""Expanding the range of reproductive options will empower more couples to pursue safe and healthy pregnancies," he said in an interview with Fox News Digital.In a press briefing, Robert McFarland, a pediatric neurologist at Newcastle University, who co-led one of the studies, reportedly noted the teams "cautious optimism" about the results.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"To see babies born at the end of this is amazing, and to know theres not going to be mitochondrial disease at the end of that," he said.Fox News Digital reached out to the study researchers for comment.

Training camp has arrived, and football fans everywhere are counting down the seconds until it ends.Apparently, so are the players' significant others.Late July is one of the most exciting times to be a football fan, as it begins fantasy season and the countdown to the first kickoff of the year. However, it's a rather stressful time for the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the players, according to one star's wife.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBrandon Aiyuk's wife, Rochelle, posted a TikTok to give an inside look at what it's like to be a significant other of an NFL player during camp, and why they "go into a frenzy" and "in a panic.""Training camp does last for multiple weeks and the women freak out because so in my situation, Im a mother. Now he has to abruptly leave, and [Im] taking care of my rambunctious four-year-old by myself, who has never slept, and he is off the walls. He's a hard one," Rochelle admitted."For some other peoples situations, theyre not based in the same city that the team plays The wives and girlfriends who are back home now have to get left and [their significant other] have to go report to work, go to camp. I get to see my husband every few days, they dont get to see their man at all for like weeks."Rochelle then said that a family life could be turned upside down at the flip of a switch.RAIDERS CUT TIES WITH DEFENSIVE TACKLE CHRISTIAN WILKINS IN SHOCKING MOVE, IGNITING FEUD OVER BONUS MONEY"Another thing, training camp is so intense. Some of the men are not guaranteed a spot yet, they are fighting for their spot on the team. So if they dont make this team and they end up on a different team, the family has to pack up and move. Its just a lot," Rochelle continued. "Abrupt training camp change is no joke, so thats why youll see all of the girlies going crazy online and then social media is a fun way to just distract from that time. So no, our men arent our whole personality people. It just gives us a fun thing to look forward to. Its just content."Thankfully for the Aiyuks, they seem to be set in stone in San Francisco, as the wide receiver signed a four-year, $120 million extension last year that begins with the 2025 kickoff.However, Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL last year, and the 49ers still don't have a timetable for his return.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The artist who painted former First Lady Michelle Obamas official White House portrait has pulled her latest show from a D.C. Museum this week after the spaces owners wanted to alter one of her works to avoid offending President Donald Trump, The New York Times reported Thursday.Artist Amy Sherald withdrew her solo show from the Smithsonians National Portrait Gallery after she was told her painting "Trans Forming Liberty" a depiction of the Statue of Liberty as a trans woman may be removed by the gallery."I entered into this collaboration in good faith, believing that the institution shared a commitment to presenting work that reflects the full, complex truth of American life. Unfortunately, it has become clear that the conditions no longer support the integrity of the work as conceived," Sherald said in a letter to Smithsonian secretary Lonnie Bunch III.DEFUNDING DEI: HERES HOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS UNDONE BIDENS VERY PRIZED PROGRAMSSherald painted the portrait of Obama currently owned by the National Portrait Gallery. The work, which is a grayscale image of the former First Lady that features some brighter colors near the bottom of her floor-length dress, generated controversy when it was unveiled in 2018.Critics online savaged the more abstract elements of the portrait, and some ripped the work for not looking anything like Obama.Courting controversy once again, Sherald refused to have "Trans Forming Liberty" altered or removed from her "American Sublime" gallery that was set to debut at the museum in September. In a statement she produced Thursday that was shared with Fox News Digital, the artist said she was "informed that concerns had been raised internally" about the work."These concerns led to discussions about removing the work from the exhibition," she said. "While no single person is to blame, it's clear that institutional fear shaped by a broader climate of political hostility toward trans lives played a role."In a separate statement obtained by The Times, Sherald said that Bunch had proposed replacing the transgender depiction with a video of people reacting to it an idea the artist rejected."When I understood a video would replace the painting, I decided to cancel," she said. "The video would have opened up for debate the value of trans visibility and I was opposed to that being a part of the American Sublime narrative."WHITE HOUSE VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 'SYSTEM OF MERIT' IN US, DISMANTLE DEI 'STRANGULATION'However, a Smithsonian spokesperson disputed Sheralds account of Bunchs proposed alterations."The video was to accompany the painting as a way to contextualize the piece, "It was not to replace Amy Sheralds painting," they said in a statement.When asked for comment, the Smithsonian pointed Fox News Digital to its recent statement on the matter."While we understand Amys decision to withdraw her show from the National Portrait Gallery, we are disappointed that Smithsonian audiences will not have an opportunity to experience American Sublime,'" it read."Unfortunately, we could not come to an agreement with the artist. We remain appreciative and inspired by Ms. Sherald, her artwork and commitment to portraiture," it added.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURESheralds exit comes after Trump signed an executive order in March to remove leftist ideology and historical revisionism from government institutions. In the order, he called out the Smithsonian for having "come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology.""This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive," he added.Trump also declared he would be firing the Portrait Gallerys director, Kim Sajet, for being a "strong supporter of D.E.I." Sajet resigned from her role in June.The White House provided Fox News Digital with a quote from Trump admin official Lindsey Halligan blasting Sherald's artwork."The Trans Forming Liberty painting, which sought to reinterpret one of our nations most sacred symbols through a divisive and ideological lens, fundamentally strayed from the mission and spirit of our national museums. The Statue of Liberty is not an abstract canvas for political expression it is a revered and solemn symbol of freedom, inspiration, and national unity that defines the American spirit."She added, "President Trumps Executive Order mandates that such institutions serve not as platforms for ideological division, but as sources of unity, inspiration and pride of our shared history. The removal of this exhibit is a principled and necessary step toward restoring that purpose."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continued to express regret for her controversial Ghana trip ahead of the devastating fires earlier this year in a recent interview with Vice News."I was asked, Do I regret going? Hell yeah. I mean, let me just do a comparison. If you are out of town and your kid or a member of your family gets sick or hurt, it doesn't matter where you were or why you were there. You feel horrible," Bass said in an interview with Vice News earlier this month."I'm really not trying to give excuses, but there was no way in the world I knew that the city was in danger when I left," she later added. "Absolutely no way. And if you think about it through, if you take a step back, and because I did ask the chief when I came back, you know, like Why didnt you tell me? and basically the response was Because we have Santa Anas all the time and nobody expected hurricane-force winds.'"The mayor faced intense scrutiny for the presidential delegation's visit to Africa even though there were warnings of the fire ahead of time. The Los Angeles Times reported that her team was aware of the fire risk before her trip.She ended up returning the day after the fires began ripping through Los Angeles neighborhoods, like the Pacific Palisades, where thousands of buildings were destroyed.LA MAYOR RIPPED FOR INTERFERING WITH ICE RAID AT CRIME-RIDDEN LOCAL PARK: 'FULL OF S---'"Well, I mean to be with honest with you. Well, I didnt get briefed. Thats true. But I think that, again, people did not anticipate the historic wind. And it wasnt just LA. It was the county too.""What typically happens is that if there's going to be a big weather event, there are these briefings that happen and, uh, it's either initiated by the fire department or the emergency department," she said. "I was used to the fire chief calling me and telling me, you know, this is getting ready to happen. Come over. I need to brief you and all, you know, everything goes into motion. That didn't happen in the county, meaning LA and LA County."On her flight back, she said she was on the phone almost the entire 12-hour flight back to the U.S. from Ghana.SOCIAL MEDIA, TRUMP ADMIN ERUPTS OVER LA MAYOR'S REACTION TO ICE RAIDS: 'YOU'RE A CRIMINAL TOO'"Well, theyre telling me whats happening in the fire. We were preparing the emergency declaration. They were talking to the mayor, the council president who serves as acting mayor while Im gone. I dont remember if I talked to him or not then, but because there were just a lot of phone calls. Sometimes a lot of people. I think I even did a news interview, but all of that was while I was on the way home," she said, noting that she had phone access on the plane because it was a military plane, and she did not realize that the Sky News, who she went viral for not answering his questions, was even on the flight.Bass ousted Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley from her position in February, and Crowley unsuccessfully appealed her removal."Our firefighters support Chief Crowley because she stood up for the men and women of our department," United Firefighters of Los Angeles City posted to X at the time. In the interview, Bass claimed there were "lies told" about the budget and fire engines.LOS ANGELES MAYOR SLASHES FIRE DEPARTMENT DEI BUREAU IN PROPOSED BUDGET MONTHS AFTER WOKE BACKLASH"Yes, there were broken fire engines. We find out later that those fire engines were there broken because they're used for spare parts. But there were 40 fire engines that were idle because they didn't have the staff that [Crowley] sent home. And the budget cut and I don't I don't know the reasons for it, and then the budget cut that never happened," she added."Yes," Crowley notably responded in an interview at the time of the fires when asked if city leadership "failed" her when it came to resources."What we did when we did the budget was we put money aside for fire because we were in labor negotiations. If the budget was signed before then, but when the labor negotiations were done, we put it back in the budget. Which is a common thing. Were doing that right now," Bass said.When asked about the after-action report for the fire, Bass said she would look and see, but they should be about finished now."Fox News Digital reached out to Bass' office and Crowley. Fox News Digital also reached out to the Los Angeles Fire Department, but they did not immediately comment.

The former House speaker credited early preparation for the Democrats victories in 2006 and 2018 to early preparation, saying that 2026 could be the same."It's important to be strong in the year in advance, because that's when the troops line up. We have our messaging, we have our mobilization, we need the money to do it, but they go only next to a school to hold up the most important part: the candidate," she said.21 DEMOCRATS WHO MAY TRY TO SUCCEED TRUMP IN THE 2028 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONHowever, Pelosi sees another element as being key to Democrats victory: bringing down President Donald Trumps approval rating. The former House speaker called Trumps current numbers "terrible.""By October certainly by November, but by October, we will have with the help of so many people working well have taken whats his names numbers down," Pelosi said.A recent Fox News Poll found that 46% of voters approve of Trumps performance, while 54% disapprove.

Ro Khanna, D-Calif., Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and David Hogg. Both Harris and Raskin are set to address the group virtually.Fox News Dana Blanton and Victoria Balara contributed to this report.

Henry McMaster, also a close Trump ally, is term-limited at the end of 2026.The president's endorsement will likely play a decisive role in the Palmetto State's GOP primary.

Lucid Motors is about to make highway driving a lot more relaxing.The electric vehicle startup is rolling out a major upgrade to its driver-assistance technology, placing it squarely alongside Tesla and GM in the growing hands-free driving market.VOLKSWAGENS ICONIC CUTE VAN DRIVES ITSELF WITH 360-DEGREE VISIONStarting July 30, Lucid Air owners who opted for the DreamDrive Pro package will have access to an over-the-air update unlocking two key features:WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The update launches first for the Lucid Air sedan, with the upcoming Gravity SUV getting these features later this year.DreamDrive Pro combines advanced hardware and intelligent software to power Lucid's driver-assistance system.

A civil rights organization declared a "state of national emergency" in response to the Trump administrations policies.NPR's Juana Summers interviewed Marc Morial, the president and CEO of the National Urban League, to discuss why the organization declared a state of national emergency.The organization has been releasing a report called the "State of Black America" for over four decades. According to the organization's website, the report "explores the inequities across Americas economics, employment, education, health, housing, criminal justice, and civic participation systems through research and the words of our contributors."This year, theNational Urban Leagues report is titled "State of Emergency: Democracy, Civil Rights And Progress Under Attack."BEYOND ANTI-DEI: THE CASE FOR A DURABLE CIVIL RIGHTS COMPROMISEMorial first addressed the annual report on the State of Black America when prompted by Summers to describe what it means."There's an unprecedented attack on the gains of the last 70 years. And think about it. Seventy years ago, Brown v. the Board of Education began the dismantling of segregation in America," Morial said.He went on to cite voter suppression, "attacks" on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and "cutbacks" on Medicaid, food stamps, veterans benefits, and education.Morials comments came after President Donald Trump vowed to target DEI. Trump's crusade against DEI began on the first day of his second term with an executive order, "Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing."WHITE HOUSE VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 'SYSTEM OF MERIT' IN US, DISMANTLE DEI 'STRANGULATION'Summers pressed Morial further, asking him to spell out Trumps objective to dismantle DEI programs. She added that the pushback against DEI occurred before Trump."To your mind, what has changed since people who oppose these types of policies came into power in the federal government in 2025?" Summer asked."Think about the executive orders that seek to shut down the enforcement mechanisms, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Education and the complete change in mission of the Civil Rights Division," Morial said. "All of these specific things when taken together just simply represent an assault on the idea of equal opportunity, on the idea of racial justice, on the idea of, yes, diversity, equity and inclusion, which is a strength of America - a powerful, powerful strength of America. And that is why so many of us have had to stand up a very strong effort to resist through the courts. Some are protesting."Morial said that the National Urban League is working on slowing down the "Make America Great Again" movement."We're doing everything possible to try to slow down this movement, and it is a movement. It's called the MAGA movement. You can call it that. But it's bigger than politics because it is a broad-based assault, using public policy as a weapon against equal opportunity," he said.The National Urban League told Fox News Digital that they have made an effort to reach out to Trump administration officials."The National Urban League requested meetings with GOP House and Senate leaders and Trump administration cabinet officers and has not received responses," Morial said.
