Multicargo Porous Cochlear Electrode Coating for Antifibrosis After Cochlear Implantation
This study presents a novel porous drug‐loading coating for cochlear electrodes, utilizing MA‐PDMS infused with GelMA hydrogel containing dexamethasone and MXene nanoparticles. The coating enhances biocompatibility, enables sustained drug release, reduces fibrosis, and preserves residual hearing post‐CI.

Visualization of the Spiral Ganglion Neuron in Vivo Using a Novel 177Lu Nuclear Molecule Label
The study developed and validated a radionuclide‐labeled anti‐VGLUT1 antibody probe for the first nuclear imaging of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in vivo. This approach may provide aid in screening candidates suitable for CI surgery by quantifying the number of surviving SGNs, and predicting the potential for postoperative hearing ...
