The adult mammalian cochlear sensory epithelium houses two major types of cells, mechanosensory hair cells and underlying supporting cells, and lacks regenerative capacity. Recent evidence ...

Researchers developed a new terahertz imaging method that was able to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. An excised mouse cochlea is pictured ...

The cross-sectional area of the tectorial membrane in the distal end of the apical cochlear coil of the Tectb −/− mutant mouse was approximately twice that of heterozygous or wild-type mice ...

Putnam Valley, NY. (June 26 , 2012) –Researchers in Japan who evaluated the risks and efficacy of transplanting two varieties of stem cells into mouse cochlea have concluded that both adult ...

The organ of Corti – the hearing organ of the inner ear - forms from a ribbon of progenitor cells running the length of the cochlear duct, termed the prosensory domain. Starting at about embryonic day ...

In this paper, Drs. Miller and Alagramam offer further evidence for the existence of cochlear stem cells in the mouse cochlea by confirming the ability to form 'stem cell' spheres in culture and ...

What am I looking at? To study the cells of this cochlea, researchers extracted it from a newborn mouse and grew it in culture. The cochlea itself is the blue spiral at the center of the image (1).

Researchers have employed a precise means of genetic editing, called CRISPR-Cas9, to “erase” a pathogenic variant that causes hearing loss in a mouse model termed “Beethoven.” ...

Manor and his team found that these receptors are expressed in the mouse cochlea as early as one month after birth, suggesting that psychedelics could influence cochlear neurons. So, they obtained ...

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 ...

We start out with only about 15,000 sound-processing hair cells in each cochlea, and once any of them are gone, they're gone for good. There may now be hope for restoring that lost hearing ...
