In mammals, sounds are perceived through mechanosensory hair cells located within the sensory epithelium of the cochlea (the organ of Corti). Hair cells produced during development are postmitotic ...

Just like your future body will thank you for the apple, your future ears (specifically your cochlear hair cells) will thank you for protecting them. The most common cause of hearing loss is ...

since they show that a small number migrated to the damaged cochlea and repaired sensory hair cells and neurons. For their study, the team used animal models in which permanent hearing loss had ...

The Oregon Health & Science University researchers said they produced functional auditory hair cells in the cochlea of a mouse inner ear. Advertisement "One approach to restore auditory function ...

Vibrations cause the fluid within the cochlea to ripple, forming waves that stimulate the movement of hair cells positioned on the top of the basilar membrane that separates the two fluid-filled ...

The function of the outer hair cell in hearing is now perceived as that of a cochlear amplifier that refines the sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the mechanical vibrations of the cochlea.

But scientists working with a mouse model and a donated cochlea have found a possible way to regenerate hair cells. Here’s what biomedical engineer Jeff Karp of Brigham and Women’s Hospital ...

The study, recently published in Stem Cell Reports, used these cochlear organoids to screen a collection of over one thousand FDA-approved drugs for substances stimulating hair cell formation.

Just like your future body will thank you for the apple, your future ears (specifically your cochlear hair cells) will thank you for protecting them. The most common cause of hearing loss is ...

Loud music assaults the cochlea, the snail-shaped organ of the inner ear whose tiny hair cells detect sound vibrations. The cochlea translates these into electrical impulses that nerves carry to ...

Taking a bite of an apple is considered a healthy choice. But have you ever thought about putting in earplugs before your favorite band takes the stage? On the other hand, birds and fish can ...
