The inner ear comprises the cochlea and the vestibule, which detect sound pressure and acceleration, respectively. The vestibule consists of the utricle, the saccule, and three semicircular canals.
Highly organized truss-like structures characterize the mammalian auditory epithelium (the organ of Corti, OoC). The OoC consisting of the sensory hair cells and their supporting cells, sits on the ...
Intermittent fasting has proven benefits for metabolic health, but a new study shows that it could slow hair growth—at least in mice. Researchers report December 13 in the Cell Press journal Cell that ...
