Scientists explore the latent regenerative potential of the inner ear
Updated : 1 month, 1 week ago IST
Scientists from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Neil Segil have identified a natural barrier to the regeneration of the inner ear's sensory cells, which are lost in hearing and balance disorders. Overcoming this barrier may be a first step in returning inner ear cells to a newborn-like state

Researchers discover new mechanism that regulates auditory sensitivity
Updated : 6 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Washington [U.S], July 24 (ANI): CU Anschutz researchers have identified a new mechanism of how auditory sensitivity is regulated that can temporarily reduce the sensitivity of the auditory system for protection from loud sounds that can cause irreversible damage.

Simpler way to generate sensory hearing cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], July 5 (ANI): Researchers have now found a simpler way of generating the sensory cells of the inner ear. The team uses a direct reprogramming approach to produce sensory cells known as "hair cells," due to their hair-like protrusions that sense sound waves.
