Proteomics and the Inner Ear [PDF]
Disease Markers, 2001 The inner ear, one of the most complex organs, contains within its bony shell three sensory systems, the evolutionary oldest gravity receptor system, the three semicircular canals for the detection of angular acceleration, and the auditory system ‐ unrivaled in sensitivity and frequency discrimination.

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

Development of the inner ear [PDF]
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2015 The vertebrate inner ear is a sensory organ of exquisite design and sensitivity. It responds to sound, gravity and movement, serving both auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) functions. Almost all cell types of the inner ear, including sensory hair cells, sensory neurons, secretory cells and supporting cells, derive from the otic placode, one of

Congenital Inner Ear Abnormalities and COVID-19-Related Ear Infections
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2022 Congenital deformities of the labyrinth of the inner ear may be associated with an increased risk of infection and varying degrees of otologic and vestibular dysfunction. Lateral semicircular canal abnormalities specifically can be associated with either

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
