Inner-ear abnormalities and their functional consequences in Belgian Waterslager canaries (Serinus canarius) [PDF]
Recent reports of elevated auditory thresholds in canaries of the Belgian Waterslager strain have shown that this strain has an inherited auditory deficit in which absolute auditory thresholds at high frequencies (i.e. above 2.0 kHz) are as much as 40 dB

Role of Dach1 revealed using a novel inner ear-specific Dach1-knockdown mouse model
The Dach1 gene is expressed in the inner ear of normal mouse embryos in the area that differentiates into the cochlear stria vascularis (SV). We hypothesised that Dach1 downregulation in the inner ear would lead to SV dysplasia.

Plastin 1 widens stereocilia by transforming actin filament packing from hexagonal to liquid [PDF]
With their essential role in inner-ear function, stereocilia of sensory hair cells demonstrate the importance of cellular actin protrusions. Actin packing in stereocilia is mediated by crosslinkers of the plastin, fascin, and espin families.

Purinergic signaling in the inner ear [PDF]
Epithelial cells of the inner ear coordinate their ion transport activity through a number of mechanisms. One important mechanism is the autocrine and paracrine signaling among neighboring cells in the ear via nucleotides, such as adenosine, ATP and UTP.

The Mechanics of the Inner Ear [PDF]
THE University of Missouri has recently issued a memoir by Prof. Max Meyer, in which an interesting, instructive, and suggestive attempt is made to explain the mechanism of the cochlea without having recourse to the application of the principle of sympathetic vibration, or rather without the assumption that there exists in the cochlea, in the form of ...

Inner Ear Therapeutics: An Overview of Middle Ear Delivery
There are a variety of methods to access the inner ear and many of these methods depend on utilizing the middle ear as a portal. In this approach the middle ear can be used as a passive receptacle, as part of an active drug delivery system, or simply as ...

Sufu and Gli3 repressor mediate the temporal basal-to-apical progression of hair cell differentiation in mammalian cochleae [PDF]
Poster presentation - Theme 3: Development & stem cellsThe Sonic Hedgehog pathway plays important roles in mammalian inner ear development. Mutations of Shh, Smo and Gli3 lead to severe defects in mouse inner ear morphogenesis.
