The News About Treatment of Deafness

Hello,
Scientists research by using stem cells. I read a news about embryonic stem cells.

İf a person loses   specialized nerve cells in his ears, he will be  deaf. Because, nerve cells transmit signals to brain. Therefore scientists research specialized nerve cells (in ears).They used deaf adults gerbils.

Embriyonic stem cells were transplanted to deaf adults gerbils ears. Then scientists reported good developments. These researchers are University of Sheffield in England. Probably deafness will be treat next years.

Yellow cells are human  stem cells
