Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids [PDF]
, 2019 Mutations in the gene encoding the type II transmembrane protease 3 (TMPRSS3) cause human hearing loss, although the underlying mechanisms that result in TMPRSS3-related hearing loss are still unclear.

Hair Cell Transduction, Tuning, and Synaptic Transmission in the Mammalian Cochlea.
Comprehensive Physiology, 2017 Sound pressure fluctuations striking the ear are conveyed to the cochlea, where they vibrate the basilar membrane on which sit hair cells, the mechanoreceptors of the inner ear.

Activated notch causes deafness by promoting a supporting cell phenotype in developing auditory hair cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To determine whether activated Notch can promote a supporting cell fate during sensory cell differentiation in the inner ear.An activated form of the Notch1 receptor (NICD) was expressed in early differentiating hair cells using a Gfi1-Cre mouse allele ...

Stepwise fate conversion of supporting cells to sensory hair cells in the chick auditory epithelium
iScience, 2023 Summary: In contrast to mammals, the avian cochlea, specifically the basilar papilla, can regenerate sensory hair cells, which involves fate conversion of supporting cells to hair cells. To determine the mechanisms for converting supporting cells to hair

Pattern formation in the basilar papilla: evidence for cell rearrangement. [PDF]
, 1997 The avian basilar papilla is composed of hair and supporting cells arranged in a regular pattern in which the hair cells are surrounded and isolated from each other by supporting cell processes.

Single-cell proteomics reveals changes in expression during hair-cell development
eLife, 2019 Hearing and balance rely on small sensory hair cells that reside in the inner ear. To explore dynamic changes in the abundant proteins present in differentiating hair cells, we used nanoliter-scale shotgun mass spectrometry of single cells, each ~1 ...

Olfactory receptor OR2AT4 regulates human hair growth
Nature Communications, 2018 Increasing evidence suggest that olfactory receptors can carry additional functions besides olfaction. Here, Chéret et al. show that stimulation of the olfactory receptor ORT2A4 by the odorant Sandalore® stimulates growth of human scalp hair follicles ex

A Reversal in Hair Cell Orientation Organizes Both the Auditory and Vestibular Organs
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Sensory hair cells detect mechanical stimuli with their hair bundle, an asymmetrical brush of actin-based membrane protrusions, or stereocilia. At the single cell level, stereocilia are organized in rows of graded heights that confer the hair bundle with

The role of extracellular vesicles in cutaneous remodeling and hair follicle dynamics [PDF]
, 2019 Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, are cell-derived membranous structures that were originally catalogued as a way of releasing cellular waste products.
