Sensorion and Cochlear Limited (ASX:COH), announce the initiation of a pilot study of the first-in-class small molecule drug SENS-401 (Arazasetron) in patients scheduled for cochlear implantation.
The study establishes “the first benchmarks for the prevalence of hearing loss,” and reveals that the risk of hearing loss is affected not only by how much drug is given, but by how that drug is delivered—dosing schedules, complementary treatments, and more.
To achieve reprogramming, the scientists exposed fibroblasts and supporting cells to a cocktail of four transcription factors, which are molecules that help convey the instructions encoded in DNA. The scientists identified this cocktail by testing various combinations of 16 transcription factors that were highly active in the hair cells of newborn mice.
