36、latory genes, which are responsible for maintaining healthy hearing. The finding, made in fruit flies, could lead to treatments for age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in humans.Globally, one-third of people aged over 65 experience hearing loss, and while there are thought to be more than 150 genes that

37、 may affect hearing loss, there is no unified (统一的) view on how to use these to develop hearing loss treatments.In the study, published in Scientific Reports, researchers at the UCL Ear Institute assessed the hearing ability of the common fruit fly across its life span (around 70 days) to see if the

38、ir hearing declines with age.A fruit flys ears share many molecular (分子的) similarities with the ears of humans, making it an ideal tool for the study of human hearing loss.Researchers found that the antennal ears of fruit flies also display ARHL with nearly all sensitive hearing measures starting to

39、 decline after 50 days of age. This made the researchers want to know if there were any “age-variable” genes in the flies inner ears which have kept the ears healthy for 50 days of their lives.After closer examination, researchers identified a new set of regulatory geneshomeostasis genes. These gene

40、s are often responsible for picking up sound and the overall sensitivity of the ear. Using this information, scientists were then able to genetically modify (修改) the genes and prevent the flies from getting ARHL.Professor Joerg Albert, lead author of the study, said: “While many studies have been co

41、nducted into the hearing function of fruit flies, ours is the first to look at the mechanistic and molecular detail of their auditory (听觉的) life course. The fact that these genes are conserved in humans will also help to focus future clinical research in humans and thereby accelerate the discovery o

Humans have over 150 genes that can affect hearing loss.D. One-third of people aged over 65 have hearing problems.

One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). _39_ You just spin the gadget around. Theres also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different par
