Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

open access: yes, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

SK2 channels are required for function and long-term survival of efferent synapses on mammalian outer hair cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cochlear hair cells use SK2 currents to shape responses to cholinergic efferent feedback from the brain. Using SK2-/- mice, we demonstrate that, in addition to their previously defined role in modulating hair cell membrane potentials, SK2 channels are ...

Hearing Loss: From Basic to Clinical Science

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hearing loss (HL) affects over 1.5 billion people globally, with genetic factors accounting for ≈50% of congenital cases. Therefore, HL has become a global health issue, driving extensive research from basic science to clinical applications. This Special Collection includes a total of 31 papers, among which 9 are review papers, 21 are research

Hair bundles of cochlear outer hair cells are shaped to minimize their fluid-dynamic resistance

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The mammalian sense of hearing relies on two types of sensory cells: inner hair cells transmit the auditory stimulus to the brain, while outer hair cells mechanically modulate the stimulus through active feedback.

Expression and Localization of CaBP Ca2+ Binding Proteins in the Mouse Cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
CaBPs are a family of EF-hand Ca2+ binding proteins that are structurally similar to calmodulin. CaBPs can interact with, and yet differentially modulate, effectors that are regulated by calmodulin, such as Cav1 voltage-gated Ca2+ channels ...

Cellular glutathione content in the organ of Corti and its role during ototoxicity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Glutathione (GSH) is the major scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside cells. We used live confocal imaging in order to clarify the role of GSH in the biology of the organ of Corti, the sensory epithelium of the cochlea, before, during and ...

Insights into the Biology of Hearing and Deafness Revealed by Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Single-cell RNA sequencing is a powerful tool by which to characterize the transcriptional profile of low-abundance cell types, but its application to the inner ear has been hampered by the bony labyrinth, tissue sparsity, and difficulty ...

NAVIS: Neuromorphic Auditory VISualizer Tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This software presents diverse utilities to perform the first post-processing layer taking the neuromorphic auditory sensors (NAS) information. The used NAS implements in FPGA a cascade filters architecture, imitating the behavior of the basilar membrane
