A mouse model of otitis media identifies HB-EGF as a mediator of inflammation-induced mucosal proliferation.
Otitis media is one of the most common pediatric infections. While it is usually treated without difficulty, up to 20% of children may progress to long-term complications that include hearing loss, impaired speech and language development, academic underachievement, and irreversible disease.
