Severe hearing loss and outer hair cell death in homozygous Foxo3 knockout mice after moderate noise exposure [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a disease that affects millions of Americans. Identifying genetic pathways that influence recovery from noise exposure is an important step forward in understanding NIHL.

Molecular Regulation of Auditory Hair Cell Death and Approaches to Protect Sensory Receptor Cells and/or Stimulate Repair Following Acoustic Trauma

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Loss of auditory sensory hair cells is the most common cause of hearing loss. This review addresses the signaling pathways that are involved in the programmed and necrotic cell death of auditory hair cells that occur in response to ototoxic and traumatic

Delayed structural maturation of inner hair cell ribbon synapses in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Clinical features of the fragile X syndrome (FXS) phenotype include intellectual disability, repetitive behaviors, social communication deficits, and, commonly, auditory hypersensitivity to acoustic stimuli.

Pvalb8, a Type of Oncomodulin, Regulates Neuromast Development and Auditory Function in Zebrafish [PDF]

Cells
Congenital hearing loss, frequently resulting from defective hair cells, remains poorly understood due to the incomplete identification of key pathogenic genes. Oncomodulin (OCM) is a kind of calcium-binding protein (CaBP) that regulates diverse cellular

The lhfpl5 Ohnologs lhfpl5a and lhfpl5b Are Required for Mechanotransduction in Distinct Populations of Sensory Hair Cells in Zebrafish

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
Hair cells sense and transmit auditory, vestibular, and hydrodynamic information by converting mechanical stimuli into electrical signals. This process of mechano-electrical transduction (MET) requires a mechanically gated channel localized in the apical

Enlargement of ribbons in zebrafish hair cells increases calcium currents, but disrupts afferent spontaneous activity and timing of stimulus onset. [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience, 2017
In sensory hair cells of auditory and vestibular organs, the ribbon synapse is required for the precise encoding of a wide range of complex stimuli. Hair cells have a unique presynaptic structure-the synaptic ribbon-that organizes both synaptic vesicles ...

RIM-Binding Proteins Are Required for Normal Sound-Encoding at Afferent Inner Hair Cell Synapses

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
The afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHC) and spiral ganglion neurons are specialized to faithfully encode sound with sub-millisecond precision over prolonged periods of time.

Overloaded Adeno-Associated Virus as a Novel Gene Therapeutic Tool for Otoferlin-Related Deafness

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Hearing impairment is the most common sensory disorder in humans. So far, rehabilitation of profoundly deaf subjects relies on direct stimulation of the auditory nerve through cochlear implants.

Hearing loss in mice with disruption of auditory epithelial patterning in the cochlea

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In the cochlear auditory epithelia, sensory hair and supporting cells are arranged in a checkerboard-like mosaic pattern, which is conserved across a wide range of species.

Research Progress on the Mechanism of Cochlear Hair Cell Regeneration

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Mammalian inner ear hair cells do not have the ability to spontaneously regenerate, so their irreversible damage is the main cause of sensorineural hearing loss.
