This study identifies a lymphatic vascular network and immune surveillance system in the cochlea following implantation, contributing to inflammatory responses.

This study shows dexamethasone-eluting cochlear implants reduce and sustainably suppress the foreign-body response in mice over 336 days, with reduced fibrosis and immune infiltration.

The paper develops a supervised automation protocol in Imaris to streamline cell counting in confocal cochlear images, reducing manual effort and human error.

This study investigates immune responses in deafened rats, finding that both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms contribute to spiral ganglion neuron degeneration without requiring complement activation.

This study shows chronic cochlear implantation, not electric stimulation, drives macrophage infiltration and fibrosis in mice, with surgical trauma initiating the immune response.

This study shows that anti-inflammatory therapies protect spiral ganglion neurons after aminoglycoside-induced hair cell loss by reducing macrophage activation and neuroinflammation.
