Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed genetic therapy for deafness

A new study from Tel Aviv University presents an innovative treatment for deafness, which is based on the introduction of genetic cargo into the cells of the inner ear. As part of the treatment, the genetic load is inserted into the damaged cell in such a way that it actually "repairs" the genetic defect and allows the cell to continue to function normally
