Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty ...

A surprising new function of essential hearing proteins may explain why some genetic mutations and common antibiotics lead to permanent deafness.

Scientists link TMC protein membrane disruption to hearing loss, showing how mutations, drugs and noise trigger hair cell death and deafness.
