Hair regrowth treatment may soon take a major leap forward, as researchers in a recent study have successfully grown complete ...

A surprising new function of essential hearing proteins may explain why some genetic mutations and common antibiotics lead to permanent deafness.

Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty molecules across cell membranes. When this newly discovered function goes ...

There's promising new research to report in efforts to reverse baldness: A new study shows how restorative hair growth can be triggered in mice within 20 days, by stimulating fat cells around hair ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...

Hair cells in the inner ear detect mechanical stimuli from sound waves and convert them into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Some animals, such as zebrafish, can regenerate their ...

Led by Mathieu Beraneck, researchers at the University of Paris Cité/CNRS and the University of Barcelona explored the strength of the relationship between a type of inner hair cell in the ear and ...

Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods allow, offering a new tool for hearing loss research. The study, published ...

Researchers at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders have identified a previously unknown mechanism that destroys the sensory hair cells of the inner ear, a discovery ...
