Towards Maturation of Human Otic Hair Cell-Like Cells in Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Organoid Transplants

Investigators devised a strategy to enhance maturation of otic progenitor cells toward human hair cell–like cells by assembling 3D otic organoids that contain human pluripotent stem cell-derived otic cells, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal stem cells.
