The research of Dr David Furness,School of Life Sciences, into stem cells that could help combat hearing loss associated with old age, has been featured in 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.
