Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

Progress On Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Therapies
ABSTRACT Hearing loss is the most common disabling disease among humans, which adversely affects human health. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) accounting for approximately 63% of all hearing loss cases. SNHL may be classified into age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), drug‐induced hearing loss (DIHL), noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), and sudden ...

Study the biomechanical performance of the membranous semicircular canal based on bionic models
A BA (bionic ampulla) was designed and fabricated using an SMPF (Symmetric electrodes Metal core PVDF Fiber) sensor, which could imitate the sensory hair cells to sense the deformation of the cupula of the BA. Based on the BA, a bionic semicircular canal

Disrupted Vestibular Nuclei Neuron Development in a Chick Model for Congenital Vestibular Disorders
ABSTRACT Children with syndromic, congenital vestibular disorders (CVDs) form a sac‐like inner ear with missing or truncated semicircular canals and experience delayed motor development with lifelong challenges to maintain posture and balance. How the abnormal inner ear affects downstream central vestibular neural circuitry has not been investigated ...

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

β-trace protein (prostaglandin D synthase) - a stable and reliable protein in perilymph
Objective: Beta-trace protein (β-TP) has been analysed in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other body fluids. Beta-trace protein is a very sensitive and specific clinical marker and can confirm reliably the presence of CSF in patients with a suspected

Previous animal studies have shown that stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) signaling pathway plays an important role in the targeted migration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to the injured area ...

Low Endolymph Calcium Concentrations in deafwaddler2J Mice Suggest that PMCA2 Contributes to Endolymph Calcium Maintenance [PDF]
In vertebrates, transduction of sound into an electrochemical signal is carried out by hair cells that rely on calcium to perform specialized functions. The apical surfaces of hair cells are surrounded by endolymphatic fluid containing calcium at concentrations that must be maintained by active transport. The mechanism of this transport is unknown, but
