New research published in Stem Cell Reports found that organoid culture-based models for cochlear hair cell formation can be used to identify drugs that promote hair cell regeneration in a high ...

The mammalian cochlea is an extraordinary biomechanical system whose capacity for sensitivity and frequency discrimination hinges on intricate interactions between its passive structures and active ...

Irreversible hearing loss affects hundreds of millions worldwide, often caused by damage to cochlear hair cells that cannot regenerate in humans. New research into the molecular pathways of hair cell ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...

Hair cells inside the human ear are responsible for sensing and relaying sound to the brain. In all mammals except humans, these cells can regenerate if damaged. In humans, when a hair cell dies ...
