Gene Therapy Restores Hair Cell Stereocilia Morphology in Inner Ears of Deaf Whirler Mice.
Molecular Therapy, 2016 Hereditary deafness is one of the most common disabilities affecting newborns. Many forms of hereditary deafness are caused by morphological defects of the stereocilia bundles on the apical surfaces of inner ear hair cells, which are responsible for ...

Hair cell maturation is differentially regulated along the tonotopic axis of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
, 2020 Sound amplification within the mammalian cochlea depends upon specialized hair cells, the outer hair cells (OHCs), which possess both sensory and motile capabilities.

Advances in stem cell-based therapy for hair loss [PDF]
CellR4, 2020 Hair loss is a quite common condition observed in both men and women. Pattern hair loss also known as androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss that is thought to affect up to 80% of Caucasian men and up to 40% of Caucasian women by age ...

Postsynaptic Ca2+, but not cumulative depolarization, is necessary for the induction of associative plasticity in Hermissenda [PDF]
, 1993 The neuronal modifications that underlie associative memory in Hermissenda have their origins in a synaptic interaction between the visual and vestibular systems, and can be mimicked by contiguous in vitro stimulation of these converging pathways. At the

Activation of PI3K signaling prevents aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death in the murine cochlea
Biology Open, 2016 Loss of sensory hair cells of the inner ear due to aminoglycoside exposure is a major cause of hearing loss. Using an immortalized multipotent otic progenitor (iMOP) cell line, specific signaling pathways that promote otic cell survival were identified ...

Protecting mammalian hair cells from aminoglycoside-toxicity: assessing phenoxybenzamine’s potential [PDF]
, 2017 Aminoglycosides (AGs) are widely used antibiotics because of their low cost and high efficacy against gram-negative bacterial infection. However, AGs are ototoxic,causing the death of sensory hair cells in the inner ear. Strategies aimed at developing or

Relating structure and function of inner hair cell ribbon synapses
Cell and Tissue Research, 2015 In the mammalian cochlea, sound is encoded at synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Each SGN receives input from a single IHC ribbon-type active zone (AZ) and yet SGNs indefatigably spike up to hundreds of Hz
