BACKGROUND
Treatment of inner ear diseases remains a problem because of limited passage through the blood-inner ear barriers and lack of control with the delivery of treatment agents by intravenous or oral administration. As a minimally-invasive approach, intratympanic delivery of multifunctional
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), supplemented by contrast agents, is a powerful tool that can be used to visualise the structures of the inner ear in vivo and assess some aspects of physiology, such as the permeability of agents through membranes. The mouse is an excellent animal species for
Liposome nanocarriers (LPNs) are potentially the future of inner ear therapy due to their high drug loading capacity and efficient uptake in the inner ear after a minimally invasive intratympanic administration. However, information on the biocompatibility of LPNs in the inner ear is lacking. The
