A multiscale three-dimensional (3D) virtual histology approach is presented, based on two
configurations of propagation phase-contrast X-ray tomography, which have been …

Abstract Organ-on-a-chip (OOAC) has attracted great attention during the last decade as a
revolutionary alternative to conventional animal models. This cutting-edge technology has …

The cochlea of our auditory system is an intricate structure deeply embedded in the temporal
bone. Compared with other sensory organs such as the eye, the cochlea has remained …

The inner ear has a rich population of pericytes, a multi-functional mural cell essential for
sensory hair cell heath and normal hearing. However, the mechanics of how pericytes …

There is controversy regarding the association and etiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus
(DM) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Some studies support that SNHL develops …

Accurate 3D models of the cochlea are useful tools for research in the relationship between
the electrode array and nerve fibres. The internal geometry of the cochlear canal plays an …

Background Treatment of many types of hearing instability in humans, including sudden
sensorineural hearing loss, Meniere's disease, and autoimmune inner ear disease, rely …

Neurotrophins promote neurite outgrowth of auditory neurons and may help closing the gap
to cochlear implant (CI) electrodes to enhance electrical hearing. The best concentrations …

Exocrine and endocrine pancreas are interconnected anatomically and functionally, with
vasculature facilitating bidirectional communication. Our understanding of this network …

Moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss in humans is treatable by electrically
stimulating the auditory nerve (AN) with a cochlear implant (CI). In the cochlea, the modiolus …
