And the STAT Madness winners are...
The University of Michigan missed out on the March Madness finals by just a hair: It’s Texas Tech, instead, that’ll be going up against the University of Virginia for the most important basketball skirmish of the collegiate season.
But, really, who cares?
Michigan has won a far more important contest: STAT MADNESS! You, dear readers, voted Michigan’s potential tinnitus treatment as the most promising academic research of the year. The device being developed uses gentle electrical pulses to tame misfiring cells that cause the phantom noises associated with the disorder.

The editors at STAT also selected their favorite entry from the 64 competing research projects. The Whitehead Institute (though not a participant in the basketball tournament) in Cambridge, Mass., has developed a form of CRISPR-Cas9 editing — calling DNA methylation editing — that potentially could be used to correct brain disorders like fragile X syndrome.
