World first research to speed up cure for ear infections

...issue," Dr Ghassemifar said. "Through DNA or gene profiling of animal models we hope to learn which molecules are active as the ear drum heals and we will then target those to speed up the healing process." Dr Ghassemifar said the clinical research into the wound healing process was a major milestone towards...
