2019 JUN 8 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- Investigators discuss new
findings in Hearing Diseases and Conditions - Hearing Disorders. According to news reporting originating from Ann Arbor, United
States, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Congenital hearing disorders affect millions of children worldwide and can
significantly impact acquisition of speech and language. Efforts to identify the developmental genetic etiologies of conductive and
sensorineural hearing losses have revealed critical roles for cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) in ear development."

Funders for this research include National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIH, Donita B. Sullivan, MD Research Professorship in
Pediatrics and Communicable.

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Michigan, "Cranial NCCs contribute to all portions of the
ear, and defects in neural crest development can lead to neurocristopathies associated with profound hearing loss. The molecular
mechanisms governing the development of neural crest derivatives within the ear are partially understood, but many questions
remain."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "In this review, we describe recent advancements in determining neural crest
contributions to the ear, how they inform our understanding of neurocristopathies, and highlight new avenues for further research
using bioinformatic approaches."
