Research opens the door to novel therapies for cancer induced by hedgehog signaling pathway

A research led by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has revealed a novel mechanism that regulates secretion of sonic hedgehog (Shh), a key signaling molecular that plays an important role in cancer progression, in mammals, opening the door to novel therapeutic strategies for cancer induced by the hedgehog signaling pathway.

Researchers overcome a major hurdle to reverse hearing loss due to aging

Hearing loss due to aging, noise and certain cancer therapy drugs and antibiotics has been irreversible because scientists have not been able to reprogram existing cells to develop into the outer and inner ear sensory cells -- essential for hearing – once they die.
