A brief history of “three-parent babies”

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-07-26 07:00:00

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Despite hundreds of thousands of games on the Play Store, very few become comforting escapes from the harsh reality.

There are countless Android-powered gaming handhelds, but they go beyond the usual slate of Android games by offering console emulation support.

The babies were born to mothers who carry genes for mitochondrial diseases and risked passing on severe disorders. In the team’s approach, patients’ eggs are fertilized with sperm, and the DNA-containing nuclei of those cells are transferred into donated fertilized eggs that have had their own nuclei removed.
