:: Congratulations to Toni Ricci for his work on inner ear hair cells, as summarized in The Stanford Report. New imaging suggests that instead of being on the tallest stereocilia, ion channels sit atop shorter projections. His findings are published in the March 2009 edition of Nature Neuroscience.

:: Congratulations to the new Stanford ENT Class of 2014: Paula Borges (Stanford University), Joe Lee (Washington University of St. Louis), Candace Pau (Stanford University), and Do Yeon Cho (Chungbuk University, Stanford University). Welcome to the department!

:: Visit the new Stanford OHNS Temporal Bone Lab Atlas, part of the newly dedicated Rodney C. Perkins Microsurgical Laboratory.  The laboratory is an important resource to expand knowledge of surgical anatomy and extend  the frontiers of operative technique.

:: View Dr. Sam Most's NBC TV segments (San Francisco || Seattle) about two over-the-counter creams for facial rhytids.  His findings - that they had no significant ability to reduce wrinkles - are published in the Sept-Oct 2007 issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.
