Gene Switch Reboots Sight and Sound: A Breakthrough in Sensory Regeneration

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in parts of the ear and eye — a step toward possible future therapies for hearing and vision loss. A new mouse study [...]
