The Human Endolymphatic Sac and Inner Ear Immunity: Macrophage Interaction and Molecular Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Background: The endolymphatic sac (ES) is endowed with a multitude of white blood cells that may trap and process antigens that reach the inner ear from nearby infection-prone areas, it thus serves as an immunologic defense organ.

Macrophage-related immune responses in inner ear: a potential therapeutic target for sensorineural hearing loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in human beings. Cochlear sensory cells are the basis of hearing. Cochlear sensory cells suffer from various acute or chronic injuries, such as excessive sound stimulation, ototoxic drugs, and age-related ...

Immune system of the inner ear as a novel therapeutic target for sensorineural hearing loss

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Extratympanic Observation of Middle and Inner Ear Structures in Rodents Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED): A diagnostic challenge

open access: yesInternational Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2018
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) has been defined as a condition of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), caused by an ‘uncontrolled’ immune system response.

The Mechanics of the Inner Ear [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1908
I AM much indebted to Prof. McKendrick for his exceedingly fair review of my monograph on the mechanics of the inner ear (NATURE, June 4, p. 114). One point, however, seems to require a reply on my part. Prof. McKendrick suggests that I should make “a huge model” of the cochlea.

Otitis media impacts hundreds of mouse middle and inner ear genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Otitis media is known to alter expression of cytokine and other genes in the mouse middle ear and inner ear. However, whole mouse genome studies of gene expression in otitis media have not previously been undertaken.

Assessment of drug permeability through an ex vivo porcine round window membrane model

open access: yesiScience, 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.

Vestibular schwannoma and ipsilateral endolymphatic hydrops: an unusual association [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Vestibular schwannoma and endolymphatic hydrops are two conditions that may present with similar audio-vestibular symptoms. The association of the two in the same patient represents an unusual nding that may lead clinicians to errors and delays in ...
