TikTok has done it again. One minute it's dance routines and pasta recipes, the next it's got everyone fixated on... earwax. Yes, really. The app that brought us skincare hacks and slugging is now ...

A study published in Nature Communications describes evolutionary changes in Neanderthal morphology through the analysis of their inner ear structures, known as the bony labyrinth. The research ...

The inner ear is crucial for maintaining balance and a steady head posture. It consists of three semicircular canals containing fluid and sensory hair cells that pick up motion in the head.

"Aging triggers cholesterol loss from sensory cells of the inner ear." The Argentinian scientists speculated that because hearing loss occurs as people get older and the outer hair cells (OHCs ...

A team of Harvard Medical School scientists say they've come up with a new drug cocktail of molecules that they say can successfully regenerate the hair cells in the inner ear that enable hearing ...

Effective hearing loss treatments have eluded medicine because once sensory hair cells (HCs) in the inner ear are damaged or destroyed, they cannot be regenerated. However, researchers at Mass Eye ...

The study focuses on ear hair cells, which are sensory cells that line the inner ear and are fundamental to our sense of hearing. The death of these cells due to aging and stresses like excessive ...

The discovery of a genetic switch could be instrumental in producing mechanosensory hair cells of the inner ear that die due to aging, loud noises, chemotherapy, or antibiotics, resulting in deafness.

(Gray News) - A recent study found the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect cells of the inner ear, including hair cells, which are critical for both hearing and balance. In a study of 10 COVID ...

The study has recorded evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes Covid-19 – can infect the inner ear, including hair cells that are critical for hearing and balance. (Satish Bate/HT ...

Furthermore, the researchers said that the infectious disease could infect hair cells and Schwann cells in the inner ear by using confocal microscopy. "Initially this was because routine testing ...

Researchers also found that the virus could infect two types of cells in the inner ear called Schwann and hair cells. Hearing loss after COVID-19 has already been observed, but new research from ...
