Potential application value of pigment epithelium-derived factor in sensorineural hearing loss
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 The inner ear is a complex and precise auditory perception system responsible for receiving and converting sound signals into neural signals, enabling us to perceive and understand sound.

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1985 Previously the authors proposed that the perilymphatic inner ear immune system is independent of that of the cerebrospinal fluid. In the present study, the effect of dilatation of blood vessels surrounding the cochlea of chinchillas on the transfer of serum antibodies to the perilymph was tested. The possibility of local production of antibodies in the

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

Characterization of the Usher Syndrome gene CDH23: implications for mechanosensation in the vertebrate inner ear [PDF]
, 2004 Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment afflicting the human population. Approximately one in eight hundred children is born with serious hearing impairment and more than half of these cases are likely due to single gene defects.

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.

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

Inner ear disturbances related to middle ear inflammation [PDF]
, 2017 2017-02The inner and middle ear are connected mainly through round and oval windows, and inflammation in the middle ear cavity can spread into the inner ear, which might induce a disturbance.

Multimodal Atlas of the Murine Inner Ear: From Embryo to Adult
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 The inner ear is a complex organ housed within the petrous bone of the skull. Its intimate relationship with the brain enables the transmission of auditory and vestibular signals via cranial nerves.
