Abstract

Screening for small molecules or drugs that can protect or restore mechanosensory hair cells has been hampered by limited cell numbers. In Nature Biotechnology, Koehler et al. (2017) have developed a human organoid-based approach using basic developmental principles to generate large numbers of bonafide hair cells in vitro.<br /> (Copyright © 2017.
