Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods ...

A new study details an efficient and scalable method to generate human inner ear hair-like cells in the lab, potentially offering a new tool for hearing loss research.

The findings of this important study substantially advance our understanding of the transcription factors that can induce hair cell-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells. The presented evidence ...

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and ...

Loud noise travelled everywhere with Daryl Holmes. When he drove by, you could hear his car radio blaring. At dinner, he ...

The following is the first in a series of four past columns on aging as Alvia heals from knee replacement surgery. The ...

Ménière disease is a balance disorder. It’s caused by an abnormality in part the inner ear called the labyrinth. Fluid build-up here can cause a severe spinning sensation (vertigo) and affect the ...

Firstly, and perhaps crucially, the folds in the pinna assist in determining the direction of sound (localization). This ...

Because the ear pinna is a uniquely mammalian structure and varies widely in its ability to regenerate across species, Weifeng Lin and colleagues argue that it makes an ideal model for studying ...

“Adding back the retinoic acid can activate ear pinna regeneration but may not be able to activate the regeneration of heart or other organs,” Wang acknowledged.

By comparing the impact on inner ear development of constitutive and otic-specific expression of the SOX9Y440X mutation in heterozygotes and heterozygous otic-specific Sox9 -null and heterozygous ...
