According to the conference organizers, the scientific program will combine “keynotes as well as featured and invited talks with scientific contributions to highlight the wide range of world-class research and hot topics in computational audiology.”
“Our twin discoveries that fruit flies experience age-related hearing loss and that their prior auditory health is controlled by a particular set of genes, is a significant breakthrough. The fact that these genes are conserved in humans will also help to focus future clinical research in humans and thereby accelerate the discovery of novel pharmacological or gene-therapeutic strategies,” says lead-author Joerg Albert.
LY3056480 mediated Notch inhibition is aimed at regeneration of inner ear sensory hair cells that are lost with advancing age.

Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) in Germany have found that the axons of auditory neurons in the brainstem, which respond to low and high-frequency sounds, differ in shape and these variations impact how quickly they conduct signals.
