As soon as the first genes associated with hearing loss were identified, molecular diagnosis of early-onset hearing loss began to be developed. Reid added that the inner ear is an organ that is exquisitely suited to gene therapy.

High hopes are also being placed on gene therapy, with a clinical trial for congenital hearing loss already planned in children and potential avenues for correcting hearing loss in adults in the future (see inset on gene therapy). to maintaining your privacy and will not share your personal information without

* Study carried out at the Institut Vernes in Paris, where Diane Lazard is an ENT surgeon, in collaboration with the University of Geneva (published in 2017).

At Michigan, Raphael and his colleagues are using combinatorial gene transfer methods to enhance the efficiency of new hair cells and are planning to enhance this approach and include other genes. As the leader of a pioneering team searching for genes associated with hearing loss and investigating the auditory system, can you sum up the current state of research? The condition of supporting cells is an important factor in planning the set of genes that will be used to generate new hair cells., Raphael explained that audiologists in the clinics need to be aware that there are currently no therapies based on gene transfer being offered.

In these cases too, genetic factors play a part, with some individuals being more susceptible to deterioration than others. Hearing loss is one of the most common forms of sensory deficits in people, affecting about 37 million Americans, according to federal statistics.

Why does bronchiolitis only affect infants?

Researchers from Hong-Kong University - Pasteur Research Pole and Institut Pasteur of New Caledonia are winners of the "Pasteur Network Talent Award" 2020.

A new understanding, How human pathogens may emerge from the environment, How investigating the population biology of Listeria is ushering in a new era in listeriosis surveillance. We are currently also seeing a real commitment to research into innovative therapies supported by the development of a new industry sector.

Lack of accurate and reliable diagnostic tools, especially related to hair cell loss, also complicate the implementation of gene transfer technology..
