Tel Aviv U Scientists Develop Gene Therapy for Deaf Children The Media Line Staff 12/23/2020
Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a gene therapy for children born with genetic mutations that cause hearing loss.
The treatment, which has been tested on mice, delivers healthy genetic material into the cells of the inner ear, which replaces the genetic defect and enables the cell to continue functioning normally. The scientists were able to prevent the gradual deterioration of hearing in mice with a genetic mutation for deafness. Following the successful study, the scientists are developing similar therapies for other mutations that cause deafness.

According to the research team, the UV-LED technology could soon be available for commercial and private use. This is the first study performed on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at a range of wavelengths or frequencies on a virus belonging to the coronavirus family.
Led by Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environmental Engineering Program at TAU’s School of Mechanical Engineering, Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, the study was published in the November 2020 issue of the
