🚨📢 Exciting breakthrough in hearing loss research! 🚨📢 ⁠
⁠
The Stankovic lab, led by department Chair Dr. Konstantina Stankovic, in the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, developed a robust method to generate functionally mature human cochlear neuron–like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells, closely matching native cochlear neurons in gene expression and electrical activity. ⁠
⁠
These lab-made nerve cells could connect and communicate with ear hair cells and brain cells, creating a new platform for researchers to model hearing loss and to test potential future therapies aimed at restoring hearing!⁠
