Single-Cell Transcriptomes Reveal a Complex Cellular Landscape in the Middle Ear and Differential Capacities for Acute Response to Infection. [PDF]
Single-cell transcriptomics was used to profile cells of the normal murine middle ear. Clustering analysis of 6770 transcriptomes identified 17 cell clusters corresponding to distinct cell types: five epithelial, three stromal, three lymphocyte, two ...

Computed tomographic morphometry of tympanic bulla shape and position in brachycephalic and mesaticephalic dog breeds [PDF]
Anatomic variations in skull morphology have been previously described for brachycephalic dogs; however there is little published information on interbreed variations in tympanic bulla morphology.

Cochlear-bone wave can yield a hearing sensation as well as otoacoustic emission
A hearing sensation arises when the elastic basilar membrane inside the cochlea vibrates. The basilar membrane is typically set into motion through airborne sound that displaces the middle ear and induces a pressure difference across the membrane.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE MIDDLE EAR. [PDF]
The scope of this paper embraces the following parts: 1, the drum cavity; 2, the attic; 3, the aditus ad antrum; 4, the mastoid antrum; 5, the mastoid cells; 6, the eustachian tube. The function of the eustachian tube is, first, to ventilate the middle ear, and secondly, to drain the secretions from the middle ear into the nasopharynx.

Diagnostic Performance of Endoscopic and Microscopic Procedures for Identifying Different Middle Ear Structures and Remaining Disease in Patients with Chronic Otitis Media: A Prospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The diagnostic performance of endoscopic and microscopic procedures for detecting diseases of the middle ear in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) has rarely been investigated. This study was conducted to compare the performance of these

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
