Professor UEYAMA Takehiko (Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University) and the inner ear research group (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine) have identified the cell types in the inner ear ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

Gene discovery allows production of inner or outer ear hair cells Death of outer hair cells due to aging or noise cause most hearing loss Master gene switch turns on ear hair cell development CHICAGO ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

The act of hearing is like a ballroom dance, scientist Jaime García-Añoveros says. Tiny hair cells lined up in the outer ear leap and sway, transmitting sound’s vibrations to other hair cells in the ...

The ability to analyze how the inner ear works could help provide better therapies, especially for sensorineural hearing loss ...

The discovery of a genetic switch could be instrumental in producing mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear that die due to aging, loud noises, chemotherapy, or antibiotics, resulting in deafness.

The blue spiral in the center of this field of green and white cells looks as if it might be a seashell. However, it is actually the cochlea of a newborn mouse. The cochlea is an organ in the inner ...

One of the most significant hurdles to providing gene therapies for hearing loss is access to the inner ear. Our ears are intricate and feature complex structures that make getting treatment into the ...

Hearing loss due to aging, noise and certain cancer drugs has been irreversible, because scientists have not been able to reprogram existing cells to develop into the outer and inner ear sensory cells ...
