Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy is emerging as a promising treatment for deafness and vestibular deficits, due to the variety of available serotypes that offer a large range of cell ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...

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 created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods allow, offering a new tool for hearing loss research. Research into how this ...

Sensory hair cells of the mouse inner ear stained with phalloidin to highlight actin-rich structures called stereocilia, which are arranged in bundles forming the mechanosensory organelle of the inner ...

Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods allow, offering a new tool for hearing loss research. The study, published ...

Led by Mathieu Beraneck, researchers at the University of Paris Cité/CNRS and the University of Barcelona explored the strength of the relationship between a type of inner hair cell in the ear and ...
