St. Jude finds clues to hearing loss from chemotherapy

...e goal was to find the genes involved in different aspects of hearing loss. "Now that we've identified the various problems in the ear that can contribute to hearing loss in these models, we can work back and look for specific mutations in these animals," Zuo said. "That will let us link specific mutations ...
