    Ear hair cells derived from embryonic stem cells

    3272

    Mouse embryonic stem cells matured into this bundle of hair cells similar to the ones that transmit sound in the ear. These cells could one day be transplanted as a therapy for some forms of deafness, or they could be used to screen drugs to treat deafness. The hairs are shown at 23,000 times magnification via scanning electron microscopy. Image and caption information courtesy of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
