Direct SARS-CoV-2 infection of the human inner ear may underlie COVID-19-associated audiovestibular dysfunction

Communications Medicine, 2021
Plain language summary Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. A growing number of sensory symptoms have been linked to this illness.

Biomaterial-based drug delivery systems in the treatment of inner ear disorders [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Inner ear disorders are among the predominant etiology of hearing loss. The blood-labyrinth barrier limits the ability of drugs to attain pharmacologically effective concentrations within the inner ear; consequently, delivering drugs systemically is ...

Knockout of dhx38 Causes Inner Ear Developmental Defects in Zebrafish [PDF]

Biomedicines
Background: Alternative splicing is essential for the physiological and pathological development of the inner ear. Disruptions in this process can result in both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hearing loss.

The Blood-Labyrinth Barrier: Non-Invasive Delivery Strategies for Inner Ear Drug Delivery [PDF]

Pharmaceutics
The inner ear is a relatively isolated organ, protected by the blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB). This barrier creates a unique lymphatic fluid environment within the inner ear, maintaining a stable physiological state essential for the mechano-electrical ...

Modulation of Wnt Signaling Enhances Inner Ear Organoid Development in 3D Culture. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Stem cell-derived inner ear sensory epithelia are a promising source of tissues for treating patients with hearing loss and dizziness. We recently demonstrated how to generate inner ear sensory epithelia, designated as inner ear organoids, from mouse ...

Roles of supporting cells in the maintenance and regeneration of the damaged inner ear: A literature review [PDF]

Journal of Otology
The inner ear sensory epithelium consists of two major types of cells: hair cells (HCs) and supporting cells (SCs). Critical functions of HCs in the perception of mechanical stimulation and mechanosensory transduction have long been elucidated.

Refining surgical techniques for efficient posterior semicircular canal gene delivery in the adult mammalian inner ear with minimal hearing loss

Scientific Reports, 2021
Hearing loss is a common disability affecting the world’s population today. While several studies have shown that inner ear gene therapy can be successfully applied to mouse models of hereditary hearing loss to improve hearing, most of these studies rely

Nanocarriers for Inner Ear Disease Therapy

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Hearing loss is a common disease due to sensory loss caused by the diseases in the inner ear. The development of delivery systems for inner ear disease therapy is important to achieve high efficiency and reduce side effects.
