In no other organ in the body is it as easy to see the precise organization of the principal cells. The supporting cells of the organ of Corti are not found immediately adjacent to the outer hair ...

Given the diverse cell types and complex structure of the human inner ear, will researchers ever be able to re-create it? A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, ...

In the organ of Corti in the inner ear, there are two types of cells arranged in a checkerboard-like mosaic pattern; hair cells responsible for hearing and their support cells.

A Japanese research group has become the first to reveal that the checkerboard-like arrangement of cells in the inner ear’s organ of Corti is vital for hearing. The discovery gives a new insight ...

The organ of Corti (OC) in the cochlea plays an essential role in auditory signal transduction in the inner ear. For its minute size and trace amount of proteins, the identification of the molecules ...

Despite these technical difficulties, researchers have gleaned gene-expression information about different cell types within the organ of Corti—home to the sensory cells within the cochlea. But “it’s ...

In the organ of Corti in the inner ear, there are two types of cells arranged in a checkerboard-like mosaic pattern; hair cells responsible for hearing and their support cells.

The Organ of Corti will launch in 2011 during the City of London Festival and will also be repeated by the M6 motorway in the Lake District, ...
