Correct Timing of Proliferation and Differentiation is Necessary for Normal Inner Ear Development and Auditory Hair Cell Viability [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, 2013
Background: Hearing restoration through hair cell regeneration will require revealing the dynamic interactions between proliferation and differentiation during development to avoid the limited viability of regenerated hair cells. Pax2‐Cre N‐Myc conditional knockout (CKO) mice highlighted the need of N‐Myc for proper neurosensory development and ...

Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The human anatomy dissection laboratory is a critical component of anatomical and medical education. Development, maintenance, and stocking of these laboratory spaces have unique demands, with all of the challenges in running a laboratory with Biosafety Laboratory Level 2 (BSL‐2) classification, housing a large volume of tissues saturated with

Insights into the regulation of hearing regeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Audiology and Otology
Our perception of sound is mediated by sound-sensitive hair cells in the inner ear, located in a specialized neuro-epithelium that transmits information to the auditory cortex via the auditory pathway.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...

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.

Human biomarker navigator

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
The Human Biomarker Navigator integrates the disease continuum, biomarker dynamics, cross‐organ biomarker networks, biomarker classification, and technology‐driven paradigms. It maps how biomarkers link multi‐system physiology and pathology across the nervous, respiratory, endocrine, circulatory, immune, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and ...

Predicting cochlear structural alterations from auditory function in age‐related hearing loss mice based on optical coherence tomography

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract With global population aging, age‐related hearing loss has become a major public health concern. Understanding the relationship between auditory functional decline and cochlear structural degeneration is essential for early detection and precise intervention.

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 ...

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 ...
