Inner ear barriers to nanomedicine-augmented drug delivery and imaging
Journal of Otology, 2016 There are several challenges to inner ear drug delivery and imaging due to the existence of tight biological barriers to the target structure and the dense bone surrounding it. Advances in imaging and nanomedicine may provide knowledge for overcoming the

Role of the hindbrain in dorsoventral but not anteroposterior axial specification of the inner ear [PDF]
, 2005 An early and crucial event in vertebrate inner ear development is the acquisition of axial identities that in turn dictate the positions of all subsequent inner ear components.

Audio-vestibular symptoms in systemic autoimmune diseases [PDF]
, 2018 Immune-mediated inner ear disease can be primary, when the autoimmune response is against the inner ear, or secondary. The latter is characterized by the involvement of the ear in the presence of systemic autoimmune conditions. Sensorineural hearing loss

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
