SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THEY MAY HAVE DISCOVERED A “CURE” FOR HEARING LOSS
Scientists believe they have discovered a potentially “groundbreaking” solution to hearing loss, which could regenerate the hair cells within our ears. A team of experts at Harvard Medical School, led by Dr. Zheng-Yi Chen, have found a way to utilise “small interfering RNAs” (siRNAs) — drug-like molecules that interfere with the expression of genes — to successfully regenerate cochlear hair cells in mice by “reprogramming” genetic pathways in the ear.
