Sensory Transduction and Adaptation in Inner and Outer Hair Cells of the Mouse Auditory System [PDF]
Auditory function in the mammalian inner ear is optimized by collaboration of two classes of sensory cells known as inner and outer hair cells. Outer hair cells amplify and tune sound stimuli that are transduced and transmitted by inner hair cells. Although they subserve distinct functions, they share a number of common properties. Here we compare the

Current Response in CaV1.3–/– Mouse Vestibular and Cochlear Hair Cells
Signal transmission by sensory auditory and vestibular hair cells relies upon Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of glutamate. The Ca2+ current in mammalian inner ear hair cells is predominantly carried through CaV1.3 voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.

Significance Cochlear hair cell loss is a leading cause of deafness in humans and other mammals. In the immature cochlea, lost hair cells are regenerated by neighboring glia-like supporting cells.

GFI1 functions to repress neuronal gene expression in the developing inner ear hair cells
Despite the known importance of the transcription factors ATOH1, POU4F3 and GFI1 in hair cell development and regeneration, their downstream transcriptional cascades in the inner ear remain largely unknown.

Parallel Distribution of an Inner Hair Cell and Auditory Nerve Model for Real-Time Application [PDF]
This paper summarizes recent efforts in implementing a model of the ear's inner hair cell and auditory nerve on a neuromorphic hardware platform, the SpiNNaker machine. This exploits the massive parallelism of the target architecture to obtain real-time modeling of a biologically realistic number of human auditory nerve fibres.

Development of otic organoids and their current status [PDF]
The inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance in the body, and since the initial development of otic (inner ear) organoids from mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in 2013, significant advances have been made in this field. Bone morphogenetic

Citicoline Protects Auditory Hair Cells Against Neomycin-Induced Damage
Aminoglycoside-induced hair cell (HC) loss is one of the most important causes of hearing loss. After entering the inner ear, aminoglycosides induce the production of high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that subsequently activate apoptosis in ...

Remodeling of the Inner Hair Cell Microtubule Meshwork in a Mouse Model of Auditory Neuropathy AUNA1 [PDF]
AbstractAuditory neuropathy 1 (AUNA1) is a form of human deafness resulting from a point mutation in the 5′ untranslated region of theDiaphanous homolog 3(DIAPH3) gene. Notably, theDIAPH3mutation leads to the overexpression of the DIAPH3 protein, a formin family member involved in cytoskeleton dynamics. Through study of diap3-overexpressing transgenic (
