The Vacanti mouse. The Vacanti mouse was a laboratory mouse (circa 1996) [1] that had what looked like a human ear grown on its back. The "ear" was actually an ear-shaped cartilage structure grown by seeding cow cartilage cells into biodegradable ear-shaped mold and then implanted under the skin of the mouse, with an external ear-shaped splint to maintain the desired shape.
In 1989, Vacanti first grew a piece of human cartilage in vitro on a biodegradable scaffold; [14] the work was rejected from a "top journal" as it was said to have "no practical implications". [1] Surprised by this, Vacanti gathered from colleagues that the most difficult cartilagenous replacement was the ear. [1]
In human newborns, the inner ear is fully mature. Thus, hair cell loss results in loss of hearing at any postnatal stage. The adult mammalian inner ear lacks the capacity to divide or regenerate spontaneously hair cells. [27] This is to say that neither direct transdifferentiation nor mitotic division have the innate ability to restore hair cells.

No current therapies or reparative measures exist to replace such defective hair cells in humans. In order to correct this mutation, researchers injected a gene therapy containing the corrected gene into the inner ear of mice with the genetic mutation. The therapy restored stereocilia to normal lengths and eliminated the additional rows of ...
2. You’ve suffered a head or neck injury. A head or neck injury from a car crash, fall, or accident can become even more distressing when a buzzing in your ears emerges afterwards, says Palmer.
