Scientists studying ability of mice to regenerate ear damage say therapies based on retinoic acid might work across various tissue types.

They applied one of three formulations — ciprofloxacin in negatively charged liposomes in gel, ciprofloxacin in positively charged liposomes in gel, or ciprofloxacin in gel — to the eardrums of ...

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 ...

Audio-Technica's ATH-CC500BT2 headphones offer open-ear listening with cartilage conduction tech, 20-hour battery, and AI noise reduction.

Humans' outer ears may have evolved from the gills of prehistoric fish, a new study finds. Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of gene-editing experiments.

The bendy cartilage in mammals’ outer ears today, then, may be “the last remnant of invertebrate cartilage,” Crump adds to Scientific American.

The researchers observed that gene activity in the human outer ear cartilage was similar to that in the elastic cartilage in the fish gills. But many genes are active in unrelated organs.

The outer ear is unique to mammals, but its evolutionary origin has remained a mystery. According to a new study published in Nature from the USC Stem Cell lab of Gage Crump, this intricate coil of ...

A USC-led study uncovers the evolutionary origins of mammalian outer ears, linking them to the elastic cartilage of ancient fish gills. Using genetic enhancers, researchers demonstrated a ...

The scientists were able to incorporate enhancers that help form the elastic cartilage of the human outer ear into the genomes of zebrafish .
