she said. The scientists now intend to test the effect of Cx26 mutation in other epithelial cell types, such as the gut, where defence against infection is also important.

"It is interesting to speculate that Cx26 deafness mutations have been selected over the evolutionary process due to their beneficial effects on wound healing," said Dr. Man.
