The tip-link antigen, a protein associated with the transduction complex of sensory hair cells, is protocadherin-15 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Sound and acceleration are detected by hair bundles, mechanosensory structures located at the apical pole of hair cells in the inner ear. The different elements of the hair bundle, the stereocilia and a kinocilium, are interconnected by a variety of link

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

Biocompatibility of Liposome Nanocarriers in the Rat Inner Ear After Intratympanic Administration

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2017
Liposome nanocarriers (LPNs) are potentially the future of inner ear therapy due to their high drug loading capacity and efficient uptake in the inner ear after a minimally invasive intratympanic administration.

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

open access: yes, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

Manufacturing and in vivo inner ear visualization of MRI traceable liposome nanoparticles encapsulating gadolinium

open access: yesJournal of Nanobiotechnology, 2010
Background Treatment of inner ear diseases remains a problem because of limited passage through the blood-inner ear barriers and lack of control with the delivery of treatment agents by intravenous or oral administration. As a minimally-invasive approach,

Gene Delivery into the Inner Ear and Its Clinical Implications for Hearing and Balance

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
The inner ear contains many types of cell, including sensory hair cells and neurons. If these cells are damaged, they do not regenerate. Inner ear disorders have various etiologies.

NADPH Oxidase 3 Deficiency Protects From Noise-Induced Sensorineural Hearing Loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating NADPH oxidase NOX3 isoform is highly and specifically expressed in the inner ear. NOX3 is needed for normal vestibular development but NOX-derived ROS have also been implicated in the pathophysiology of ...

Development of the inner ear [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2015
The vertebrate inner ear is a sensory organ of exquisite design and sensitivity. It responds to sound, gravity and movement, serving both auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) functions. Almost all cell types of the inner ear, including sensory hair cells, sensory neurons, secretory cells and supporting cells, derive from the otic placode, one of

Round window membrane and delivery of biologically active agents into the cochlea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Establishing efficient methods for local administration of drugs to the inner ear has great clinical relevance for the management of inner ear disorders. However, the administration route remains a critical issue.
