1. The Human Spiral Ganglion
Sammanfattning : Our knowledge of the fine structure of the Human Spiral Ganglion (HSG) is still inadequate and new treatment techniques for deafness using electric stimulation, call for further information and studies on the neuronal elements of the human cochlea. This thesis presents results of analyses of human cochlear tissue and specimens obtained during neurosurgical transpetrosal removal of life-threatening meningeomas. LÄS MER
2. Strategies in Cochlear Nerve Regeneration, Guidance and Protection : Prospects for Future Cochlear Implants
Sammanfattning : Today, it is possible to restore hearing in congenitally deaf children and severely hearing-impaired adults through cochlear implants (CIs). A CI consists of an external sound processor that provides acoustically induced signals to an internal receiver. LÄS MER
3. Stem cell in-vitro strategies for the induction of sensory neurons for inner ear cell therapy
Sammanfattning : The cochlea, a part of the auditory system, is a complex structure consisting of several different types of cells including hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. In mammals, the regenerative potential of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons is lost soon after the birth and damage to any of these cells causes sensorineural hearing loss. LÄS MER
4. Nitric Oxide in the Inner Ear with Particular Regard to Neurotansmission and Pharmacotherapy
Sammanfattning : Research into nitric oxide (NO) in the inner ear has expanded explosively during recent years. There is evidence that NO is present in the various cochlear structures and its action is involved in physiological mechanisms, such as neurotransmission, and in pathological processes, e.g. ototoxicity.

5. Pharmacokinetics and inner ear transport of cisplatin
Sammanfattning : Background: Cisplatin is a commonly used platinum anti-cancer drug. Regrettably cisplatin has dose-limiting ototoxic side effects, e.g. the drug can induce an irreversible hearing loss. LÄS MER
