In laboratory experiments, researchers have produced ear cartilage that remains form-stable in animal models. Only one ...

Biomaterials are taking medicine by storm – explore some recent preclinical advances in the field that may yield therapeutic benefits.

Swiss researchers have engineered elastic cartilage from patients’ own ear cells with mechanical properties close to natural tissue, although stabilisation of elastin remains a critical hurdle ...

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 ...

Scientists have been trying to create a functional human ear for decades ...

A recent study has uncovered the surprising evolutionary origin of the mammalian outer ear, linking it to the gills of ancient fish and marine invertebrates. The research reveals that both structures ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — There’s a new way to generate human cartilage from the head and neck, according to researchers from the University of Montana and their partners. Stem cells can now be transformed ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...
