HUMAN OTIC PROGENITOR CELL MODELS OF CONGENITAL HEARING LOSS REVEAL POTENTIAL PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC MECHANISMS OF ZIKA VIRUS AND CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTIONS

ABSTRACTCongenital hearing loss is a common chronic condition affecting children in both developed and developing nations.Viruses correlated with congenital hearing loss include human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), which causes congenital Zika syndrome.The mechanisms by which HCMV and ZIKV infections cause hearing loss are poorly und

Abstract Background Biomedical processes can provide essential information about the (mal-) functioning of an organism and are thus frequently represented in biomedical terminologies and ontologies, including the GO Biological Process branch.These processes often need to be described and categorised in terms of their attributes, such as rates or re

For deep sea equipment suspension installation used in marine engineering, the multi-camera video motion analysis method is used to calculate the three-dimensional underwater trajectory of the underwater engineering structure.Considering difficulty in underwater modeling caused by the problems of light scattering and refraction under water, the cam
