In 2016, a baby boy was born in Mexico who was special. He had three genetic parents. In the nearly ten years since, he's been joined by dozens of other babies who owe their existence to three genetic parents. Here's the science of how it happens, why it's needed, and where the research is going from here.

Glia Are Your Brain's Most Mysterious Cells

22. Jan. 2026

Instead of studying neurons like most neuroscientists, Beth Stevens studies a kind of brain cell that generations of her colleagues ignored: glia. While these cells were once thought to be little more than the glue that held the brain together, Stevens is learning that they may be the key to understanding multiple neurological diseases. In this SciShow Field Trips video, we travel to Stevens's lab to learn why she had no intention of studying the thing neuroscientists are supposed to study.

You Had A Cell That Was Larger Than A Bedsheet

21. Jan. 2026

When she was pregnant a few years ago, Hannah Yevick was reading about the placenta and learned it contained a cell whose surface spanned a whopping 13 square meters—larger than a King-sized bed sheet. The Brandeis University biophysicist was immediately fascinated, and her research on this giant cell is now revealing a lot about how cells work in general. For this SciShow Field Trips episode, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body. 00:00 - Video start 17:51 - Skip here to skip discussion of preeclamsia 19:31 - Video end Hosted by: Jaida Elcock (she/her) ---------- Support us for $8/month on Patreon and keep SciShow going! https://www.patreon.com/scishow Or support us directly: https://complexly.com/support Join our SciShow email list to get the latest news and highlights: https://mailchi.mp/scishow/email ---------- Huge thanks go to the following Patreon supporters for helping us keep SciShow free for everyone forever: David Johnston, Cye Stoner, Jp Lynch, Bethany Matthews, Chris Curry, J.V.

The Successor to CRISPR May Be Even More World Changing

20. Jan. 2026

When Feng Zhang was in his early 30s, he used a set of genes found in bacteria called CRISPR to pioneer a new kind of gene editing tool in human cells. Today, the MIT biochemist is studying a different set of microbial genes called TIGR. And they may be the key to developing CRISPR's successor. For this SciShow Field Trips video, we traveled to Zhang's lab to learn about what may be the next generation of gene editing.

We Were Totally Wrong About Zebra Stripes

26. Dez. 2025

Why do zebras have stripes? This question has plagued scientists since Darwin and Wallace were alive, and modern research has finally gotten us closer to the answer. Which is good, because the last time SciShow tried to answer it, we got it way wrong. Here's the real, updated science about how zebras got their stripes.
