Stem Cell Based Therapy

In an earlier post, I mentioned UK University of Sheffield's Dr Rivolta has succeeded in restoring hearing in 6 animal models , scoring an improvement of 25 dB.

Now I am also pleased to know UK and US researchers are moving in tandem towards a stem-cell based therapy. Well done !
