Gene Editing Restored Hearing in Adult Mice with Inherited Deafness
Researchers successfully restored hearing in adult mice with inherited hearing loss by using gene editing to shut down a damaged copy of the MIR96 gene.

The study, which appears online in “Cell,” sheds light on the molecular mechanism that underlies a form of deafness (DFNA27), and suggests a new treatment strategy.
