Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Glycosaminoglycan at the Interface of Sensory Perception and Neural Signaling

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.

An efficient strategy for establishing a model of sensorineural deafness in rats

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Ototoxic drugs can be used to produce a loss of cochlear hair cells to create animal models of deafness. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the establishment of a rat deafness model through the combined application of ...

Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3559-3568, August 2026.
In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

open access: yesVIEW, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Cell type-specific transcriptome analysis reveals a major role for Zeb1 and miR-200b in mouse inner ear morphogenesis.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Cellular heterogeneity hinders the extraction of functionally significant results and inference of regulatory networks from wide-scale expression profiles of complex mammalian organs.

Physiological and Behavioural Characterisation of a Novel Steroid Sulfatase‐Deficient Mouse

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
STS‐deficient mice are grossly healthy and breed as expected, but are mildly hyperactive and have heavier hearts compared with sex‐matched wildtype controls. ABSTRACT Steroid sulfatase (STS) cleaves sulphate groups from steroid hormones. In humans, STS deficiency is associated with X‐linked ichthyosis, an increased predisposition to neurodevelopmental ...

The Key Transcription Factor Expression in the Developing Vestibular and Auditory Sensory Organs: A Comprehensive Comparison of Spatial and Temporal Patterns

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2018
Inner ear formation requires that a series of cell fate decisions and morphogenetic events occur in a precise temporal and spatial pattern. Previous studies have shown that transcription factors, including Pax2, Sox2, and Prox1, play important roles ...

Therapeutic potential of stem cells in auditory hair cell repair

open access: yesJournal of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, 2009
The prevalence of acquired hearing loss is very high. About 10% of the total population and more than one third of the population over 65 years suffer from debilitating hearing loss.
