Daily Telegraph features Keele's stem cell research
The research of Dr David Furness, a member of ISTM and the School of Life Sciences, into stem cells that could help combat hearing loss associated with old age, has been featured in UK national newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
He has been working on a three year study funded by Deafness Research UK and the Freemasons' Grand Charity to look into the causes of age-related hearing loss. The next phase is to explore whether replacement fibrocytes and fibrocyte stem cells can be successfully grown and implanted into the ear.
The article, by the Telegraph's Medical Editor Rebecca Smith, appeared in late December - read it online here.
