Supporting cells remove and replace sensory receptor hair cells in a balance organ of adult mice

eLife, 2017
Vestibular hair cells in the inner ear encode head movements and mediate the sense of balance. These cells undergo cell death and replacement (turnover) throughout life in non-mammalian vertebrates.

Characterization of spatial and temporal development of Type I and Type II hair cells in the mouse utricle using new cell-type-specific markers

Biology Open, 2018
The utricle of the inner ear, a vestibular sensory structure that mediates perception of linear acceleration, is comprised of two morphologically and physiologically distinct types of mechanosensory hair cells, referred to as Type Is and Type IIs.

Cell-Specific Transcriptome Analysis Shows That Adult Pillar and Deiters' Cells Express Genes Encoding Machinery for Specializations of Cochlear Hair Cells

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
The mammalian auditory sensory epithelium, the organ of Corti, is composed of hair cells and supporting cells. Hair cells contain specializations in the apical, basolateral and synaptic membranes.

prdm1a drives a fate switch between hair cells of different mechanosensory organs [PDF]

Nature Communications
Vertebrate inner ear mechanosensory hair cells detect sound and gravitational forces. Additionally, fishes have homologous lateral line hair cells in the skin that detect water vibrations for orientation and predator avoidance.

Functional hair follicle regeneration: an updated review

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021
The hair follicle (HF) is a highly conserved sensory organ associated with the immune response against pathogens, thermoregulation, sebum production, angiogenesis, neurogenesis and wound healing. Although recent advances in lineage-tracing techniques and

Hair cell ribbon synapses [PDF]

Cell and Tissue Research, 2006
Hearing and balance rely on the faithful synaptic coding of mechanical input by the auditory and vestibular hair cells of the inner ear. Mechanical deflection of their stereocilia causes the opening of mechanosensitive channels, resulting in hair cell depolarization, which controls the release of glutamate at ribbon-type synapses.

Hair Follicle Generation by Injections of Adult Human Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Papilla Cells into Nude Mice

Cell Journal, 2017
Objective Dermal papilla and hair epithelial stem cells regulate hair formation and the growth cycle. Damage to or loss of these cells can cause hair loss.

Precise genetic control of ATOH1 enhances maturation of regenerated hair cells in the mature mouse utricle [PDF]

Nature Communications
Vestibular hair cells are mechanoreceptors critical for detecting head position and motion. In mammals, hair cell loss causes vestibular dysfunction as spontaneous regeneration is nearly absent.

Pharmacological regeneration of sensory hair cells restores afferent innervation and vestibular function [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
The sensory cells that transduce the signals for hearing and balance are highly specialized mechanoreceptors called hair cells that together with supporting cells comprise the sensory epithelia of the inner ear. Loss of hair cells from toxin exposure and
