Researchers have tracked a cell-to-cell pathway that designates the future location of the ear's sensory organs in embryonic mice. The scientists succeeded in activating this signal more widely across ...

Researchers have successfully developed a method to grow inner ear tissue from human stem cells, a finding that could lead to new platforms to model disease and new therapies for the treatment of ...

Five children from China born with malformed ears have had them regrown using cells from their own bodies. Using a groundbreaking process to grow body parts from cells in a laboratory, researchers in ...

The minute balancing organs hidden deep within the ear directly alter blood flow to the brain, say researchers from Harvard Medical School along with NASA scientists. But a new study has shown that as ...

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 ...

The ear is one of the 'neglected,' least taken-care-of organs in the human body even though it plays a vital role in hearing and balancing the body's movements. VISAKHAPATNAM: The ear is one of the ...

In a north London hospital, scientists are growing noses, ears and blood vessels in the laboratory in a bold attempt to make body parts using stem cells. It is among several labs around the world, ...

Minute organs hidden deep within the ear appear to directly alter blood flow to the brain, scientists have revealed. Until now, experts thought the inner ear's job was to control balance alone. But ...
