Abstract
AbstractMore than 6% of the world's population is suffering from hearing loss and balance disorders. The inner ear is the organ that senses sound and balance. Although inner ear disorders are common, there are limited ways to intervene and restore its sensory and balance functions. The development and establishment of biologically therapeutic interventions for auditory disorders require clarification of the basics of signaling pathways that control inner ear development and the establishment of endogenous or exogenous cell‐based therapeutic methods. In vitro models of the inner ear, such as organoid systems, can help identify new protective or regenerative drugs, develop new gene therapies, and be considered as potential tools for future clinical applications. Advances in stem cell technology and organoid culture offer unique opportunities for modeling inner ear diseases and developing personalized therapies for hearing loss. Here, we review and discuss the mechanisms for the establishment and the potential applications of inner ear organoids.
