Inner Ear Research.
Inner ear research began June 24 1988. Then it was reported that inner ear cell regeneration had occurred. Researchers determined that beard ear cells die and regenerate because of cell division of a new kind. Currently they are working on identifying cell signals and recovery of hearing and balance function.
