Hair cells are the mechanosensory cells of the inner ear whose loss causes irreversible hearing loss in mammals. POU4F3, a POU-domain transcription factor, is only expressed in hair cells in the inner ear and is essential for hair cell terminal ...

Mesna in Otologic Surgery: Efficacy and Safety—A Scoping Review
PRISMA flow diagram indicating the process of systematic inclusion and exclusion of articles. ABSTRACT Objective Mesna (Sodium 2‐mercaptoethanesulfonate) is widely used as a mucolytic agent and uroprotective agent. Recently, its disulfide bond‐breaking property has been applied in otologic surgery to facilitate safer dissection of cholesteatoma and ...

Static length changes of cochlear outer hair cells can tune low-frequency hearing
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 ...

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications
Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...

Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a major role in cochlear function. Recent evidence suggests that connexin 26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the major constituent proteins of cochlear gap junction channels, possibly in a unique heteromeric ...

Abstract Purpose Although human temporal bones suggest that cochlear synapse numbers decline with age and noise exposure, no validated diagnostic method exists. In animal models, cochlear synaptopathy is associated with reduced auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave 1 amplitude and envelope ...

Damage-induced signalling mechanisms in the neonatal rat cochlea.
Sound overstimulation and exposure to ototoxic drugs damage cochlear hair cells (HCs) and cause their death. The surrounding support cells maintain an epithelial barrier and the appropriate physiological environment for surviving HCs during pathological ...

CTCF is required for maintenance of auditory hair cells and hearing function in the mouse cochlea.
Auditory hair cells play an essential role in hearing. These cells convert sound waves, mechanical stimuli, into electrical signals that are conveyed to the brain via spiral ganglion neurons.
