In the new study, researchers used powerful technology to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which ...

Additionally, studies have explored the relationship between middle ear function and conditions such ... and have systems in place to gain human feedback on the overall quality of the process.

Their findings shed new light on our understanding of the sense of hearing and the function of ion channels ... including those in the human ear. Regardless of whether mechanical, electrical or ...

“If we can engineer an ear, that would be a better approach.” Spector’s team used 3D printing to create an anatomically accurate template of a human ear from polylactic acid bioink, a biocompatible ...

Researchers used powerful technology to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active.

Hearing begins with the stretching of elastic molecular 'springs' that open ion channels in the sensory hair cells of the ear. For decades, researchers have known that these gating springs must exist, ...

The researchers did a clever experiment to test the function of these enhancers. They took enhancers from human ear cells and inserted them into zebrafish DNA alongside a gene for a glowing protein.
