Prevention of Hypomineralization In Auditory Ossicles of Vitamin D Receptor (Vdr) Deficient Mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Intact mineralization of the auditory ossicles - the smallest bones in the body - is essential for sound transmission in the middle ear, while ossicular hypomineralization is associated with conductive hearing loss.

Internal vascular channel architecture in human auditory ossicles. [PDF]
J Anat, 2022 AbstractThe vascular supply of the human auditory ossicles has long been of anatomical and clinical interest. While the external blood supply has been well‐described, there is only limited information available regarding the internal vascular architecture of the ossicles, and there has been little comparison of this between individuals.

FGF23 deficiency leads to mixed hearing loss and middle ear malformation in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating hormone important in phosphate homeostasis. Abnormal serum levels of FGF23 result in systemic pathologies in humans and mice, including renal phosphate wasting diseases and hyperphosphatemia. We sought

Early hominin auditory ossicles from South Africa. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 The middle ear ossicles are only rarely preserved in fossil hominins. Here, we report the discovery of a complete ossicular chain (malleus, incus, and stapes) ofParanthropus robustusas well as additional ear ossicles fromAustralopithecus africanus. The malleus in both early hominin taxa is clearly human-like in the proportions of the manubrium and ...
