Regenerative medicine is being applied to many fields of medicine and is now starting to be considered and developed for application to treat hearing, balance, olfaction, and voice disorders. This special issue of the Anatomical Record with a series of over 20 papers covers many aspects of gene and stem cell therapies as they are developed for clinical applications in both in vitro and in vivo laboratory studies. These studies cover a wide range of approaches from gene editing in zebrafish with the latest technology (i.e., CRISPR/Cas9) to the isolation of human inner ear progenitor cells, to tracking transplanted human umbilical cord stem cells in mini pigs, to the in vitro building of graft tissues to repair tracheal defects with adipose tissue‐derived stem cells.
