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

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.
