Survival of auditory hair cells [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2015 The inability of mammals to regenerate auditory hair cells creates a pressing need to understand the means of enhancing hair cell survival following insult or injury. Hair cells are easily damaged by noise exposure, by ototoxic medications and as a consequence of aging processes, all of which lead to progressive and permanent hearing impairment as hair

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 ...

Transmission Disrupted: Modeling Auditory Synaptopathy in Zebrafish
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common form of hearing loss in humans, and results from either dysfunction in hair cells, the sensory receptors of sound, or the neurons that innervate hair cells.

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

Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
Communications Biology, 2022 Injecting human hair-derived keratin into mice skin accelerates hair growth & formation, as TGFβ2 secretion during hair destruction stimulates epithelial cell death and keratin release, leading to dermal cell condensation & hair growth.

Hair Cell Generator Potentials [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1973 A technique is introduced using a piezoelectric device to stimulate hair cells of a molluscan statocyst while recording their responses intracellularly. Statocyst displacements produced with the technique are calibrated with stroboscopic photography. Properties of the hair cells' response to currents and mechanical stimulation are studied.

Magnetic actuation of hair cells [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2011 The bullfrog sacculus contains mechanically sensitive hair cells whose stereociliary bundles oscillate spontaneously when decoupled from the overlying membrane. Steady-state offsets on the resting position of a hair bundle can suppress or modulate this native motility.

Active hair bundle movements in auditory hair cells [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2006 The frequency selectivity of mammalian hearing depends on not only the passive mechanics of the basilar membrane but also an active amplification of the mechanical stimulus by the cochlear hair cells. The common view is that amplification stems from the somatic motility of the outer hair cells (OHCs), changes in their length impelled by voltage ...

Myosin and Adaptation by Hair Cells [PDF]
Neuron, 1997 Conclusive identification of the adaptation motor is not entirely academic. For example, a rational approach to identifying other members of the transduction apparatus is first to identify one component—the adaptation motor seems most likely—and then to identify interacting proteins using biochemical and molecular biological methods.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a
