More Quotes from Manfred Auer:
The holy grail of our research is to convince those cells to regenerate, but now, we need to first understand what the composition of hair cells are and how they develop. We believe that a molecular understanding of the function of hair cells is needed to ultimately prevent hearing loss, and stimulate the regeneration of hair cells in mammals.Manfred Auer
It is the quest for an understanding of hair cells at a molecular level that drives our research. We would like to understand how hair cells work, why they are vulnerable and why in mammals hair cells do not regenerate.
