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.

Optimization of a Fixed Virtual Sensing Feedback ANC Controller for In-Ear Headphones with Multiple Loudspeakers [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this paper we consider an in-ear headphone equipped with an inner microphone and multiple loudspeakers and we propose an optimization procedure with a convex objective function to derive a fixed multi-loudspeaker ANC controller aiming at minimizing the sound pressure at the ear drum.

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

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

The physics of hearing: fluid mechanics and the active process of the inner ear [PDF]
Rep. Progr. Phys. 77:7 (2014), 2014 Most sounds of interest consist of complex, time-dependent admixtures of tones of diverse frequencies and variable amplitudes. To detect and process these signals, the ear employs a highly nonlinear, adaptive, real-time spectral analyzer: the cochlea.

Electrogenic transport and K(+) ion channel expression by the human endolymphatic sac epithelium. [PDF]
, 2015 The endolymphatic sac (ES) is a cystic organ that is a part of the inner ear and is connected to the cochlea and vestibule. The ES is thought to be involved in inner ear ion homeostasis and fluid volume regulation for the maintenance of hearing and ...
