Human Embryonic Stem Cells Improve Hearing In Deaf Gerbils. Malcolm Ritter writing for the Associate Press reported on a study that concluded, "For the first time, scientists have improved hearing in deaf animals by using human embryonic stem cells, an encouraging step for someday treating people with certain hearing disorders." The research "involved an uncommon form of deafness, one that affects fewer than one percent to perhaps 15 percent of hearing-impaired people." I #39;m not kidding about this although I wonder how they found these deaf gerbils to use in the experiments.
