The presence of two types of hair cells, the inner and outer hair cells, in the organ of Corti was appreciated nearly a 100 years ago but the function of the two has only become clear in the last 20 ...
A team of researchers has generated a developmental map of a key sound-sensing structure in the mouse inner ear. Scientists analyzed data from 30,000 cells from mouse cochlea, the snail-shaped ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in ...
Researchers have made several discoveries on the functioning mechanisms of the inner hair cells of the ear, which convert sounds into nerve signals that are processed in the brain. The results ...
The hearing organ in mammals is a spiraling structure called the "cochlea" from the Greek word for snail. It spirals out from the saccule (one of the balance organs). There are two and a half turns in ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 51 (December 17, 2019), pp. 25948-25957 (10 pages) The function of outer hair cells (OHCs), the ...
Professor UEYAMA Takehiko (Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University) and the inner ear research group (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine) have identified the cell types in the inner ear ...
The act of hearing is like a ballroom dance, scientist Jaime García-Añoveros says. Tiny hair cells lined up in the outer ear leap and sway, transmitting sound’s vibrations to other hair cells in the ...
In the inner ear, there are two different types of sensory cells that are responsible for hearing. An MHH research team has now identified the molecular switch for the formation of these inner and ...
The discovery of a genetic switch could be instrumental in producing mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear that die due to aging, loud noises, chemotherapy, or antibiotics, resulting in deafness.
