Delivery of BDNF cDNA into ear boosts cochlear implant performance

A report in Science Translational Medicine finds that electroporation of BDNF into mesenchymal cells of the ear stimulates spiral ganglion neurite regeneration, which improves sensitivity to electrical signals transmitted by cochlear implants.

Gene delivery, whether for therapeutic or basic research use, requires high-quality customized DNA constructs.
