A new study details an efficient and scalable method to generate human inner ear hair-like cells in the lab, potentially offering a new tool for hearing loss research.

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and ...

The main objective of this paper is to improve the accuracy for especial features of ear detection with ear shape images using learning algorithms. Materials and Methods: This paper’s dataset consists ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a genetic switch for organ regeneration exists, after restoring damaged outer ears in mice ...

Firstly, and perhaps crucially, the folds in the pinna assist in determining the direction of sound (localization). This ...

Chinese scientists who discovered a 'genetic switch' that restored damaged mice ear tissue say their research could one day ...

Ear print is an imminent biometric modality that has been attracting increasing attention in the biometric community. However, compared with well-established modalities, such as face and fingerprints, ...

Horse. Image by Openverse. Horse ears are remarkably mobile structures designed for both exceptional hearing and communication. Each ear contains ten muscles (compared to just three in human ears), ...

Because the ear pinna is a uniquely mammalian structure and varies widely in its ability to regenerate across species, Weifeng Lin and colleagues argue that it makes an ideal model for studying ...

It’s now possible to print a bionic ear in 3D that can hear beyond the human range and all you need is off-the-shelf printing equipment—and technical expertise. A May 2, 2013 news item on Azonano ...
