Global – October 27, 2026 -- Fifty-three boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy have now received the investigational gene therapy SGT-003, and a Phase 3 trial is already enrolling patients in Australia and Canada. Solid Biosciences shared the update in a letter to the Duchenne community as the annual Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) conference got under way.

The Phase 1/2 trial spans ages 0 to 10

The count comes from the Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial and reflects a June 22, 2026, enrollment cutoff. Participants range from 0 to 10 years old. One of them is a 6-month-old boy who, to the company's knowledge, is the youngest child ever dosed with a microdystrophin gene therapy.

Solid reports no cases of four serious safety conditions

The company describes SGT-003 as generally well tolerated. It reports no observed cases of drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, thrombotic microangiopathy or atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Australia – October 19, 2026 -- A study published this year found that four in five Australian teens under 16 got onto platforms barred by the country's 2024 social media ban. In an opinion piece, researchers Michal Luria, Aliya Bhatia and Danah Boyd argue that tightening enforcement would make kids and adults less safe online.

Bans are spreading, and so are workarounds

France joined Australia in July by barring under-15s from major platforms, though the country's top court blocked the ban on human rights grounds. The UK aims to bar under-16s in early 2027, and the EU has announced its own plan for under-15s. Teens in Australia have used a sibling's face for ID checks and even drawn fake facial hair.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 2, 2026 -- Toyota's GAZOO Racing division has just pulled the wraps off the GRMN Corolla, the most extreme and track-focused version of the GR Corolla ever created, making its world premiere today after being forged through real motorsport competition and relentless testing at Germany's legendary Nürburgring circuit. This is not a cosmetic upgrade or a badge-engineering exercise — every element of the GRMN Corolla, from its aerodynamics and suspension to its cockpit and engine, has been pushed to its limits by engineers and professional drivers in pursuit of one goal: building a Corolla that can be driven flat-out on one of the world's most punishing roads. Available in limited numbers primarily in Japan, North America, and Australia, this is a car aimed squarely at enthusiasts who want a genuine motorsport experience in a road car.
