The first light-controlled drug that could improve the hearing of people with cochlear implants

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Spain achieve, for the first time, in vivo light-activated auditory stimulation without the need for genetic manipulation. This new light-controlled drug, capable of triggering the neural pathways involved in hearing, can contribute to improving
