A “Masterpiece” – For the First Time, Scientists Keep a Mammalian Cochlea Alive Outside the Body

In his final breakthrough, A. James Hudspeth’s team sustained a living sliver of mammalian cochlea ex vivo and recorded its hallmark mechanics in real time. The platform lets researchers watch the active process at cellular resolution and offers direct support for a long-sought, unifying biophysical principle of hearing.
