Retinal nerve cells grown in the lab Work could eventually lead to cell transplants for people blinded by glaucoma, MS Date: November 30, 2015 Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine Summary: A method to ...

Ganglion cells in our ears transmit signals to the ... “In the auditory pathway, the primary neurons in the ear are spiral ganglion neurons,” explains Elliott Kozin, a neurotologist at Harvard ...

Cochlear hair cells are innervated by neurons of the spiral ganglion, which project centrally to the auditory nuclei of the brain stem through the auditory nerve. Sensory hair cells are ...

At ARVO 2025, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Steven Barnes, PhD, talked about his research on the OPA1 mutation in retinal ganglion cells' effect on the cell's electrical function.

the cell types that are found there, and the genes they express. Elizabeth Ketchum’s poster titled "GATA3 and NEUROD1 Regulate the Projection of Spiral Ganglion Neurons from the Cochlea to the ...

A ganglion is a cluster of nerve cells found in the peripheral nervous system. The cells that are specific to a ganglion are called ganglion cells. However, the term is sometimes used to describe ...

In his study, Ben Mead, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at NEI, investigated the role of stem cell exosomes on retinal ganglion cells, a type of retinal cell that forms the optic nerve that carries ...

In glaucoma, degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) - the axons of which form the optic nerve connecting the retina to the brain—leads to permanent blindness; there is currently no ...

The aim of researchers at the University of Sheffield was to replace those baton-dropping nerve cells, called spiral ganglion neurons, with new ones. They used stem cells from a human embryo ...

Hearing begins when sound energy initiates pressure waves in the fluid-filled cochlea. This fluid movement results in deflection of the actin-based stereocilia bundle that gives the sensory hair ...
