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

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

Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods ...

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

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 ...

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.

Lizards, zebrafish, salamanders and tritons can regrow a tail, a fin, or even an entire limb after amputation. Cut a planarian into pieces, and you will end up with a bunch of them. Researchers at the ...

A team of researchers from Utrecht University, Durham University, and other institutions have observed something remarkable ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

Inner ear sensory cells derived from pluripotent stem cells would provide a valuable model for drug testing, yet a defined differentiation approach has been challenging to identify. Our group has ...

Ear pressure is the sensation of fullness or stuffiness within the ear. Here is how to relieve ear pressure based on what is causing it.

Hearing loss is when you’re unable to partially or completely hear sound in one or both of your ears. It typically occurs gradually over time. NIDCD reports that about 25% of those between the ...
