Current strategies for drug delivery to the inner ear
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2013 For many years, drug delivery to the inner ear has been a challenge to physicians in the treatment of inner ear disorders. In the past decade, the field of inner ear drug delivery has emerged with the development of new biomaterials and drug delivery ...

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]
, 2006 To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Effects of Glucocorticoids on the Inner Ear [PDF]
Frontiers in Surgery, 2021 Hypothesis: Recently, several lines of evidence have suggested that the inner ear is under hormonal control. It is likely that steroids have some influence on the inner ear.Background: Many clinicians have been empirically using steroids for the treatment of diseases associated with endolymphatic hydrops. The theoretical grounds for this are not clear,

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

Autophagy in the Vertebrate Inner Ear [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017 Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that results in the lysosomal degradation of cell components. During development, autophagy is associated with tissue and organ remodeling, and under physiological conditions it is tightly regulated as it plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded proteins and damaged organelles.

Asymmetrically severe internal auditory canal hypoplasia: A case report. [PDF]
, 2020 We present a case of an otherwise healthy 20-month-old with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. CT and MR imaging demonstrated bilateral asymmetrically severe hypoplasia of the internal auditory canals and vestibulocochlear nerves.
