Otitis media impacts hundreds of mouse middle and inner ear genes. [PDF]
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.

The Human Endolymphatic Sac and Inner Ear Immunity: Macrophage Interaction and Molecular Expression
Background: The endolymphatic sac (ES) is endowed with a multitude of white blood cells that may trap and process antigens that reach the inner ear from nearby infection-prone areas, it thus serves as an immunologic defense organ.

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery in the inner ear: current challenges, limitations and opportunities
Hearing loss is the most common neurosensory impairment worldwide. While conductive hearing loss can be managed by surgery, the management of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), related to the damage of sensory cells of the inner ear is more challenging ...

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