Key gene identified for development of inner-ear structure required for balance
March 8, 2004
Both human and mouse ears perform functions beyond hearing. They
also control balance and our perception of gravity and motion. NIDCD-funded
scientists at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor collaborating
with scientists at Ingenium Pharmaceuticals AG in Martinsried, Germany,
for the first time identified a protein whose enzymatic function
is indispensable for development of this balance system.
