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

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]

, 2006
To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Potential application value of pigment epithelium-derived factor in sensorineural hearing loss

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
The inner ear is a complex and precise auditory perception system responsible for receiving and converting sound signals into neural signals, enabling us to perceive and understand sound.

Biocompatibility of Liposome Nanocarriers in the Rat Inner Ear After Intratympanic Administration

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2017
Liposome nanocarriers (LPNs) are potentially the future of inner ear therapy due to their high drug loading capacity and efficient uptake in the inner ear after a minimally invasive intratympanic administration.

Manufacturing and in vivo inner ear visualization of MRI traceable liposome nanoparticles encapsulating gadolinium

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2010
Background Treatment of inner ear diseases remains a problem because of limited passage through the blood-inner ear barriers and lack of control with the delivery of treatment agents by intravenous or oral administration. As a minimally-invasive approach,

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

Histone demethylase KDM4B regulates otic vesicle invagination via epigenetic control of Dlx3 expression [PDF]

, 2015
In vertebrates, the inner ear arises from the otic placode, a thickened swathe of ectoderm that invaginates to form the otic vesicle. We report that histone demethylase KDM4B is dynamically expressed during early stages of chick inner ear formation.
