Newly found squid hair cells may shed light on human hearing loss
Original: Newly discovered hair cells on squid may offer clues to understanding hearing loss in humans
Scientists have identified hair cells on squid that resemble those involved in hearing, and researchers say the discovery could offer new clues about how hearing loss develops in humans. Because squid sensory cells are more accessible than the delicate hair cells deep in the human inner ear, they may become a useful model for studying hearing damage and potential treatments.
Why now: A new biological discovery offers a possible new model for researching human hearing loss.
