Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods ...

A world-first study reveals an acoustic interaction between plants and insects. In the study, the team focused on female ...

A new study details an efficient and scalable method to generate human inner ear hair-like cells in the lab, potentially offering a new tool for hearing loss research.

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and ...

Researchers in the UK have received approval to conduct the first ever human trials for a stem cell treatment to reverse ...

Firstly, and perhaps crucially, the folds in the pinna assist in determining the direction of sound (localization). This ...

It’s evolutionary biology. In a fascinating new discovery, scientists have found evidence suggesting that the flexible outer part of human ears may have evolved from the gills of ancient fish.

Look at the ears of some non-human primates and you’ll see a feature at around the same curvature of the ear, only it's much more pronounced.

In tadpoles, both human ear and fish gill enhancers showed activity in their gills. In lizards, a related program was active in a small bone-like structure in their middle ears.

About one in five people can wiggle their ears—while the rest watch in non-wiggly envy. But what makes this skill possible for some and impossible for others? Ear movement is controlled by the ...
