Inner Ear Therapeutics: An Overview of Middle Ear Delivery
There are a variety of methods to access the inner ear and many of these methods depend on utilizing the middle ear as a portal. In this approach the middle ear can be used as a passive receptacle, as part of an active drug delivery system, or simply as ...

Plastin 1 widens stereocilia by transforming actin filament packing from hexagonal to liquid [PDF]
With their essential role in inner-ear function, stereocilia of sensory hair cells demonstrate the importance of cellular actin protrusions. Actin packing in stereocilia is mediated by crosslinkers of the plastin, fascin, and espin families.

Inner-ear abnormalities and their functional consequences in Belgian Waterslager canaries (Serinus canarius) [PDF]
Recent reports of elevated auditory thresholds in canaries of the Belgian Waterslager strain have shown that this strain has an inherited auditory deficit in which absolute auditory thresholds at high frequencies (i.e. above 2.0 kHz) are as much as 40 dB

Scalable Etch‐Free Transfer of Low‐Dimensional Materials From Metal Films to Diverse Substrates
A scalable, etch‐free transfer method for low‐dimensional materials is presented, utilizing a low‐melting‐point metal as a reusable support. This technique enables gentle wafer‐scale electrochemical delamination from mechanically fragile metal thin‐film substrates and supports integration into device architectures.

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Molecular characterization and prospective isolation of human fetal cochlear hair cell progenitors
Hearing requires mechanosensitive hair cells in the organ of Corti, which derive from progenitors of the cochlear duct. Here the authors examine human inner ear development by studying key developmental markers and describe organoid cultures from human ...
