Dual contribution to amplification in the mammalian inner ear [PDF]
The inner ear achieves a wide dynamic range of responsiveness by mechanically amplifying weak sounds. The enormous mechanical gain reported for the mammalian cochlea, which exceeds a factor of 4,000, poses a challenge for theory. Here we show how such a large gain can result from an interaction between amplification by low-gain hair bundles and a ...

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

Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids [PDF]
Summary: Mutations in the gene encoding the type II transmembrane protease 3 (TMPRSS3) cause human hearing loss, although the underlying mechanisms that result in TMPRSS3-related hearing loss are still unclear.

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

Precision medicine: a new era for inner ear diseases [PDF]
The inner ear is the organ responsible for hearing and balance. Inner ear dysfunction can be the result of infection, trauma, ototoxic drugs, genetic mutation or predisposition. Often, like for Ménière disease, the cause is unknown.

Modeling, applications and challenges of inner ear organoid [PDF]
More than 6% of the world's population is suffering from hearing loss and balance disorders. The inner ear is the organ that senses sound and balance. Although inner ear disorders are common, there are limited ways to intervene and restore its sensory ...

Fzd3 Expression Within Inner Ear Afferent Neurons Is Necessary for Central Pathfinding
During development the afferent neurons of the inner ear make precise wiring decisions in the hindbrain reflective of their topographic distribution in the periphery.
