Guinea pig study suggests possible repair of hearing loss
Scientists in the Journal of Neuroscience report mature mammals regenerating hair cells in guinea pig cochleas, a first step toward therapies for hearing loss. Using Math1 gene delivery, researchers created immature hair cells and observed potential cell conversion, though long-term function and human applicability remain unclear.

Mars exploration race launches three unmanned missions
European Beagle 2 lander set for liftoff from Kazakhstan and NASA plans two Mars Exploration Rovers from Cape Canaveral on June 8 as Japan's Nozomi eyes Mars orbit amid a flurry of probes. Past failures loom as engineers push bold, coordinated efforts to study Mars geology, climate and potential for life.
