Dark, diamond-shaped spots in inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are not always signs of pathological ...

Unlike birds and amphibians, mammals can't recover lost hearing. In people, the cells of the inner ear responsible for detecting sound and transmitting those signals to the brain form during early ...

In a new paradigm in developmental biology, Tel Aviv University researchers have found that the development of the hair cells in the inner ear is analogous to the organization of atoms into a crystal ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

Scientists have identified a natural barrier to the regeneration of the inner ear's sensory cells, which are lost in hearing and balance disorders. Overcoming this barrier may be a first step in ...

Epigenetic modifications are the key to restoring the latent regenerative potential of the inner ear. Scientists from the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have revealed a potential way ...
