The environment of the inner ear is highly regulated in a manner that some solutes are
permitted to enter while others are excluded or transported out. Drug therapies targeting the …

The isolated anatomical position and blood-labyrinth barrier hampers systemic drug delivery
to the mammalian inner ear. Intratympanic placement of drugs and permeation via the round …

Cochlear hair cells are critical for the conversion of acoustic into electrical signals and their
dysfunction is a primary cause of acquired hearing impairments, which worsen with aging …

High‐resolution images of the cochlea are used to develop atlases to extract anatomical
features from low‐resolution clinical computed tomography (CT) images. We compare …

As the first clinically translated machine-neural interface, cochlear implants (CI) have
demonstrated much success in providing hearing to those with severe to profound hearing …

Different types of inner ear diseases can damage different cochlear subsites by different
mechanisms. Steroids administered by different methods are commonly used for treating …

In this review, we provide a description of the recent methods used for immunohistochemical
staining of the human inner ear using formalin-fixed frozen, paraffin and celloidin-embedded …

Auditory sensitivity and frequency resolution depend on the optimal transfer of sound‐
induced vibrations from the basilar membrane (BM) to the inner hair cells (IHCs), the …

Purpose A probe that binds to unfixed collagen fibrils was used to image the shapes and
fibrous properties of the TM and BM. The probe (CNA35) is derived from the bacterial …

Some mutations in gap junction protein Connexin 26 (Cx26) lead to syndromic deafness,
where hearing impairment is associated with skin disease, like in Keratitis Ichthyosis …
