Scientists Just Created Superfast Healing Gel
The audience has a name for it already: healing potions. Under Dr Ben Miles' "Scientists Just Created Superfast Healing Gel," viewers reach for comparisons to Half-Life, Resident Evil and Fallout's stimpaks. The research is more specific than an instant health refill, but it gives that familiar gaming fantasy something real to latch onto.
Miles describes a topical treatment using ABT-263 to selectively remove senescent cells from aging skin. In mouse studies, the treatment accelerated wound healing by boosting inflammation and tissue regeneration. That distinction matters: the results described are from mice, not a ready-to-use human remedy. The upload has approached two million views and is the channel's strongest source of daily viewing right now.
His other new video, "The Secret to Mind Control - Nobel Prize 2026 EXPLAINED," takes the science-fiction-sounding route into optogenetics. Miles follows light-sensitive proteins from algae to a tool for switching neurons on, then explores experiments involving sleep, reward and hunger. The episode also contains an ad segment.
Across the channel, daily views are running at nearly twice their usual pace, while subscribers grew by about 10,000 over the week. Nearby science channels Astrum and Deep Look are currently drawing fewer daily views than usual, making Miles' upswing a noticeable contrast.
And amid the healing research and neural light switches, an older practical puzzle keeps finding an audience: "Scientists Create Perfect Urinal, Win Ig Nobel Prize," about a design intended to reduce splashing, remains among his busiest uploads.
