Student research sheds new light on inner ear disease
A team of undergraduate engineering students create the first computational model of the Bast valve located inside the inner ear, suggesting a previously unknown role in Ménière's disease
Sponsored by Johns Hopkins Medicine, Penn State biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering students partnered to analyze the Bast valve (a life-size and an enlarged 3D-printed model are shown here) and any possible relationships with Meniere's Disease, which is thought to contribute to vertigo and tinnitus among other disorders.
