Babies from three people's DNA prevents [a] heriditary diseaseThey use an egg of a donor, which is stripped of the nucleus, and inject the nucleus of the mother there to conduct IVF. The goal is to use the donor’s mitochondria and avoid a mitochondrial DNA genetic disease to be inherited from the mom.

“Recycled plastic can leach chemicals into water” would have been a better headline. “Recycled plastic can leach X% more chemicals into water than ‘virgin’ plastic” would be even better.
Still, I better not house my zebrafish in a recycled polyethylene aquarium, I guess.
