Retardation of cochlear maturation and impaired hair cell function caused by deletion of all known thyroid hormone receptors [PDF]
, 2001 The deafness caused by early onset hypothyroidism indicates that thyroid hormone is essential for the development of hearing. We investigated the underlying roles of the TRa1 and TRß thyroid hormone receptors in the auditory system using receptor ...

Inner-Hair Cells Parameterized-Hardware Implementation for Personalized Auditory Nerve Stimulation [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper the hardware implementation of an inner hair cell model is presented. Main features of the design are the use of Meddis’ transduction structure and the methodology for Design with Reusability. Which allows future migration to new hardware and design refinements for speech processing and custom-made hearing ...

Static length changes of cochlear outer hair cells can tune low-frequency hearing.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 The cochlea not only transduces sound-induced vibration into neural spikes, it also amplifies weak sound to boost its detection. Actuators of this active process are sensory outer hair cells in the organ of Corti, whereas the inner hair cells transduce ...

Approaches of auditory hair cells induction from stem cells [PDF]
, 2017 Hair cells are the sensory epithelial cells of both the auditory and the vestibular systems in the inner ear of all vertebrates. Auditory hair cells are located in the organ of corti on a thin layer of basement membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear ...

Artificial induction of Sox21 regulates sensory cell formation in the embryonic chicken inner ear.
PLoS ONE, 2012 During embryonic development, hair cells and support cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear derive from progenitors that express Sox2, a member of the SoxB1 family of transcription factors.

eLife, 2021 Acoustic overexposure and aging can damage auditory synapses in the inner ear by a process known as synaptopathy. These insults may also damage hair bundles and the sensory transduction apparatus in auditory hair cells.

The coupling between Ca2+ channels and the exocytotic Ca2+ sensor at hair cell ribbon synapses varies tonotopically along the mature cochlea. [PDF]
, 2017 The cochlea processes auditory signals over a wide range of frequencies and intensities. However, the transfer characteristics at hair cell ribbon synapses are still poorly understood at different frequency locations along the cochlea.

C1ql1 is expressed in adult outer hair cells of the cochlea in a tonotopic gradient.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Hearing depends on the transduction of sounds into neural signals by the inner hair cells of the cochlea. Cochleae also have outer hair cells with unique electromotile properties that increase auditory sensitivity, but they are particularly susceptible ...

Loss of Pex1 in Inner Ear Hair Cells Contributes to Cochlear Synaptopathy and Hearing Loss
Cells, 2022 Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders (PBD) and Zellweger syndrome spectrum disorders (ZSD) are rare genetic multisystem disorders that include hearing impairment and are associated with defects in peroxisome assembly, function, or both.

Zinc-finger protein A20 protects hair cells from damage made by high-power microwave
Journal of Bio-X Research, 2019 . Inner ear hair cells are important for maintaining hearing. Irreversible damage to hair cells is an important cause of sensorineural deafness. Electromagnetic radiation, especially high-power microwave, is an important threat to human health in modern ...
