  2. 6. Tissue engineering of the inner ear

    Author : Shaden Khalifa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our knowledge of the regenerative ability of the auditory system is still inadequate. Moreover, new treatment techniques for hearing impairment using cochlear implant and tissue engineering, call for further investigations. READ MORE

  4. 7. Stem cell in-vitro strategies for the induction of sensory neurons for inner ear cell therapy

    Author : Rouknuddin Qasim Ali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The cochlea, a part of the auditory system, is a complex structure consisting of several different types of cells including hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. In mammals, the regenerative potential of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons is lost soon after the birth and damage to any of these cells causes sensorineural hearing loss. READ MORE

  5. 8. The diagnosis and protection of the auditory peripheral system

    Author : Mao Li Duan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cochlea; inner hair cell; outer hair cell; glutamate; post-synaptic receptor; auditory brainstem response; forward masking; noise trauma; hearing loss;

    Abstract : The main focus of this thesis is on the diagnosis and prevention of peripheral hearing loss. An auditory evoked response measure (forward masking) was developed that specifically tests the function of the inner hair cells, independently of the outer hair cells. READ MORE

  6. 9. Characterization of cochlear degeneration in the inner ear of the German waltzing guinea pig : a morphological, cellular, and molecular study

    Author : Zhe Jin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cochlea; Deafness; Embryonic development; Inner ear; Melanocyte; Phenotype; Recessive genes; Recycling; Stria vascularis.;

    Abstract : The German waltzing guinea pig is a new strain of animals with yet unknown gene mutation(s) displaying recessively inherited cochleovestibular impairment. The homozygous animals (gw/gw) are deaf already at birth and display Wpical waltzing behavior throughout life. READ MORE

  7. 10. Drug-based therapies for auditory trauma

    Author : Anette Fransson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Deafness is one of the most common health conditions in the developed countries, and worldwide, an estimated 70 million people are deaf. For people with severe to profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant is the only treatment today. The most common forms of severe hearing loss and deafness are related to morphological changes in the cochlea. READ MORE
