Figure 1: Genetic labelling and RNA-Seq of single cells from the newborn mouse inner ear. Figure 2: Single-cell RNA-Seq identifies unique cell types and novel markers in the newborn mouse utricle.

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study. Researchers focused on a group of interacting genes called the Hippo pathway, which serve as ...

The six sensory organs of the human inner ear sustain hearing and balance, and damage to these organs causes debilitating hearing and balance disorders. One of the sensory organs is auditory (the ...

A Japanese research group has become the first to reveal that the checkerboard-like arrangement of cells in the inner ear's organ of Corti is vital for hearing. The discovery gives a new insight into ...

Researchers have identified a new hearing organ which provides the missing link to understanding how sound is transmitted within the ears of bushcrickets. This discovery will make a valuable ...

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 ...

A sensory epithelium makes up a small portion of the wall of the membranous chamber. It is made up of the sensory cells together with "supporting" cells that help to support the function of the ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...
