Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Hair cells are specialized mechanosensitive cells responsible for mediating balance and hearing within the inner ear. In mammals, hair cells are limited in number and do not regenerate.

Otitis media impacts hundreds of mouse middle and inner ear genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Otitis media is known to alter expression of cytokine and other genes in the mouse middle ear and inner ear. However, whole mouse genome studies of gene expression in otitis media have not previously been undertaken.

Cells, 2022 Hearing loss affects over 460 million people worldwide and is a major socioeconomic burden. Both genetic and environmental factors (i.e., noise overexposure, ototoxic drug treatment and ageing), promote the irreversible degeneration of cochlear hair ...

Extratympanic Observation of Middle and Inner Ear Structures in Rodents Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2020 Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides useful information about the microstructures of the middle and inner ear via extratympanic approach and thereby could be utilized as an alternative diagnostic ...

Boundary Distance Loss for Intra-/Extra-meatal Segmentation of Vestibular Schwannoma [PDF]
, 2022 Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) typically grows from the inner ear to the brain. It can be separated into two regions, intrameatal and extrameatal respectively corresponding to being inside or outside the inner ear canal. The growth of the extrameatal regions is a key factor that determines the disease management followed by the clinicians.

Frontiers in NeuroscienceHearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in human beings. Cochlear sensory cells are the basis of hearing. Cochlear sensory cells suffer from various acute or chronic injuries, such as excessive sound stimulation, ototoxic drugs, and age-related ...

Immune system of the inner ear as a novel therapeutic target for sensorineural hearing loss
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common clinical condition resulting from dysfunction in one or more parts in the auditory pathway between the inner ear and auditory cortex.

Multifrequency Forcing of a Hopf Oscillator Model of the Inner Ear [PDF]
, 2007 In response to a sound stimulus, the inner ear emits sounds called otoacoustic emissions. While the exact mechanism for the production of otoacoustic emissions is not known, active motion of individual hair cells is thought to play a role. Two possible sources for otoacoustic emissions, both localized within individual hair cells, include somatic ...

The avian tectorial membrane: Why is it tapered? [PDF]
AIP Conf. Proc. 1703, 080005 (2015), 2015 While the mammalian- and the avian inner ears have well defined tonotopic organizations as well as hair cells specialized for motile and sensing roles, the structural organization of the avian ear is different from its mammalian cochlear counterpart. Presumably this difference stems from the difference in the way motile hair cells function.
