Hooray!! Hearing loss partially reversed!


A drug, LY41175, allows other cells in the inner ear to change into hair cells, which are essential, soundtransmitting cells in the inner ear. Normally, these cells are inhibited from making the switch. LY41175 releases that inhibition by interfering with the activity of a protein called Notch.

    that is absolutely great news! Hopefully, this can be translated to humans. With the exponential rate at which modern medicine is improving, i feel like it is only a matter of time before a cure is found!
