A surgeon who specializes in treating rare ear deformities has successfully implanted a 3D-printed ear made of living tissue. The procedure, the first of its kind, was done on a 20-year-old woman from ...

The 3D bioprinting of an ear from living tissue is no trivial achievement. Reconstruction of ears has been done before with adults, but this is a quite different bio environment, effectively creating ...

In many cases, deafness can have a significant impact on a person’s well-being, from obvious primary challenges like, well, not being able to hear, to no-less-important secondary issues like resulting ...

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

Five children from China born with malformed ears have had them regrown using cells from their own bodies. Using a groundbreaking process to grow body parts from cells in a laboratory, researchers in ...

Researchers have successfully developed a method to grow inner ear tissue from human stem cells, a finding that could lead to new platforms to model disease and new therapies for the treatment of ...

Your ear is a complex organ made up of three parts: Otoconia, or ear stones, are small crystals of calcium carbonate found in two organs of your vestibular system called the saccule and utricle.

A new study has revealed that an extinct group of marine reptiles called sauropterygians evolved similar inner ear proportions to those of some modern day aquatic reptiles and mammals. A new study led ...
