Squid hair cells may hold clues to human hearing loss
Original: Newly discovered hair cells on squid may offer clues to understanding hearing loss in humans
Scientists have identified newly discovered hair cells on squid, a finding that may help explain how hearing works and why it fails in humans. Because squid sensory cells resemble those in the human inner ear, researchers hope studying them will reveal mechanisms behind hearing loss and point toward future treatments.
Why now: The discovery offers a new model for studying the biology of hearing and potential treatments for hearing loss.
