Historic FDA approval brings first gene therapy for genetic deafness nature.com/articles/s4158…

👁️ What keeps vision cells alive? A new study just published in Neuron (@StefanESpirig, @AlvaroHerrero1 et al.) screened 2,700+ compounds across 20,000 lab grown human retinas to find out. 🧵👇

From @NatureBiotech: New rules spur cell and gene therapy trials in China “Once proven safe and effective in investigator-initiated trials, therapies [in China] can then be given to patients as treatments, again without requiring national regulatory approval. And the hospital that made the therapy and conducted the trial can charge for the treatment, creating a financial incentive for hospitals to deploy high-quality cell and gene therapies. This situation contrasts with that in individual European Union countries, for example, where regulations enable hospitals to deliver investigational cell therapies when few or no approved alternatives remain. But, unlike in China, national regulatory approval is usually needed to go ahead with testing… In the United States, the process is more onerous. Hospital-developed cell therapies destined for patients require an Investigational New Drug application approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, with some exceptions for compassionate use.” @US_FDA @HHSGov nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to launch a new project through the UZH Innovation Hub Entrepreneur Fellowship @UZH_en We’re leveraging human-specific in vitro inner ear models to develop effective gene therapies for genetic hearing loss. innovation.uzh.ch/en/stories/fel… Curious? Reach out/DM

“One of the greatest privileges to work with UNHCR is to straddle the boundaries between aid and diplomacy. To help refugees and, in so doing, help open doors to peace when peace seems impossible.” My statement at UNHCR’s Executive Committee meeting: 👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/speeches-…

BREAKING NEWS❗ NIH establishes nation's first dedicated organoid development center to reduce reliance on animal modeling. bit.ly/4pBYT9T

Just back from a fantastic IEB meeting. From basic auditory science to clinical trials for hearing loss. Looking forward to the next edition in Utrecht!

The starvation of people in #Gaza must end now. Standing with UN and NGO colleagues ready to deliver desperately needed, lifesaving aid to hundreds of thousands at risk of death. A ceasefire followed by meaningful peace talks are urgently required to put an end to this tragedy.

@rust_ruslan Now we are at 100%! 😉

What would be a fair compensation in USD?

Should scientists be paid for peer reviewing journal articles?

In Brief: @US_FDA introduces computational modeling and other innovative methods in preclinical drug safety studies to make animal testing “the exception rather than the norm” within 3–5 years nature.com/articles/s4158… rdcu.be/eodXS

Danke Jungs für dieses grossartige Turnier. Auch wenn es am Ende nicht gereicht hat – ihr habt alles gegeben und die Schweiz stolz gemacht. ❤️ #SIHF #MensWorlds

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share! youtube.com/watch?v=8YhJM6…

A gene-editing treatment used on a 9½-month-old boy with a rare condition has the potential to help people with thousands of other uncommon genetic diseases #NBTNewsBeat nytimes.com/2025/05/15/hea…

@FMIscience @MagdalenaSolyga @georg98keller Congratulations Magda!! @MagdalenaSolyga and @georg98keller interesting work!

What happens when our senses defy expectations—like hearing a delayed step? A study by @MagdalenaSolyga and @georg98keller revealed how the brain handles sensory surprises, with insights that could aid psychiatric diagnosis and tracking. fmi.ch/news-events/ar…
