Inner ear barriers to nanomedicine-augmented drug delivery and imaging
Journal of Otology, 2016 There are several challenges to inner ear drug delivery and imaging due to the existence of tight biological barriers to the target structure and the dense bone surrounding it. Advances in imaging and nanomedicine may provide knowledge for overcoming the

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

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,

Visualization of macrophage subsets in the development of the fetal human inner ear
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 BackgroundHuman inner ear contains macrophages whose functional role in early development is yet unclear. Recent studies describe inner ear macrophages act as effector cells of the innate immune system and are often activated following acoustic trauma or
