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

Characterization of the Usher Syndrome gene CDH23: implications for mechanosensation in the vertebrate inner ear [PDF]
, 2004 Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment afflicting the human population. Approximately one in eight hundred children is born with serious hearing impairment and more than half of these cases are likely due to single gene defects.

Identifying Patterns of Hospitalizations Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population‐Based Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experience more hospitalizations than the general population. We aimed to identify distinct hospitalization patterns among Queensland CCSs and the associated characteristics. Methods Cases (aged ≤14 years) diagnosed between 1995 and 2019 while residents of Queensland were identified through the ...

Immune system of the inner ear as a novel therapeutic target for sensorineural hearing loss
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common clinical condition resulting from dysfunction in one or more parts in the auditory pathway between the inner ear and auditory cortex.

NADPH Oxidase 3 Deficiency Protects From Noise-Induced Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating NADPH oxidase NOX3 isoform is highly and specifically expressed in the inner ear. NOX3 is needed for normal vestibular development but NOX-derived ROS have also been implicated in the pathophysiology of ...

Extratympanic Observation of Middle and Inner Ear Structures in Rodents Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2020 Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides useful information about the microstructures of the middle and inner ear via extratympanic approach and thereby could be utilized as an alternative diagnostic ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Assessment of drug permeability through an ex vivo porcine round window membrane model
iScience, 2023 Summary: Delivery of pharmaceutical therapeutics to the inner ear to treat and prevent hearing loss is challenging. Systemic delivery is not effective as only a small fraction of the therapeutic agent reaches the inner ear.

Introduction of Transmembrane Inner Ear (tmie) Gene Can Recover the Hearing Impairment and Abnormal Behavior in the Circling Mouse [PDF]
, 2008 The spontaneous mutant circling mouse (cir/cir) shows a circling behavior and hearing loss. We produced transgenic mice overexpressing the causative gene, transmembrane inner ear (tmie), for the phenotypic rescue of the circling mouse.
