Opioid-free solution for chronic pain developed by scientists

A gene therapy for chronic pain, developed by researchers at UC San Diego, could offer a safer, non-addictive alternative to opioids.

'First-of-its-kind' gene therapy restores severe hearing loss

Hearing loss has been linked to mutations in at least 100 different genes, but up to 16 percent can be traced to just one gene, STRC.
