Consumer Behaviour in the Metaverse: Empirical Insights From a Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metaverses are rapidly expanding, yet the complexities inherent in these virtual environments remain insufficiently understood, which, in turn, limits the ability to anticipate potential challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Tuning and Amplification in Gecko Auditory Hair Cells

We developed an isolated auditory papilla of the crested gecko to record from the hair cells and explore the origins of frequency tuning. Low-frequency cells displayed electrical tuning, dependent on Ca2+-activated K+ channels; high-frequency cells, overlain with sallets, showed a variation in hair bundle stiffness which when combined with sallet mass ...

Discovery of the Postcoital Contraceptive Effect of Rhus pentaphylla in a Study of Acute, Subchronic, and Neurodevelopmental Toxicity of Ethanolic Leaf Extract

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, the acute, subchronic, and neurodevelopmental toxicity of Rhus pentaphylla, a Moroccan medicinal plant, was investigated in Swiss albino mice. HPLC analysis showed the presence of phenolic compounds with rutin as the principal component.

Transplantation and survival of mouse inner ear progenitor/stem cells in the organ of Corti after cochleostomy of hearing-impaired guinea pigs: preliminary results

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2016
In mammals, damage to sensory receptor cells (hair cells) of the inner ear results in permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Here, we investigated whether postnatal mouse inner ear progenitor/stem cells (mIESCs) are viable after transplantation into the ...

Otoferlin acts as a Ca2+ sensor for vesicle fusion and vesicle pool replenishment at auditory hair cell ribbon synapses

eLife, 2017
Hearing relies on rapid, temporally precise, and sustained neurotransmitter release at the ribbon synapses of sensory cells, the inner hair cells (IHCs).

Endolymphatic hydrops and cochlear synaptopathy after noise exposure are distinct sequelae of hair cell stereociliary bundle trauma

Scientific Reports
Endolymphatic hydrops, increased endolymphatic fluid within the cochlea, is the key pathologic finding in patients with Meniere’s disease, a disease of episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness.

Therapeutic potential of stem cells in auditory hair cell repair

Journal of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, 2009
The prevalence of acquired hearing loss is very high. About 10% of the total population and more than one third of the population over 65 years suffer from debilitating hearing loss.

Inhibitory G proteins play multiple roles to polarize sensory hair cell morphogenesis

eLife
Inhibitory G alpha (GNAI or Gαi) proteins are critical for the polarized morphogenesis of sensory hair cells and for hearing. The extent and nature of their actual contributions remains unclear, however, as previous studies did not investigate all GNAI ...

Mechanosensitive Piezo channels and their potential roles in peripheral auditory perception

Brain-X
Hearing sound and responding to external and internal mechanical stimuli requires specific proteins as mechanotransducers that convert mechanical forces into biological signals.
