Restoration of auditory evoked responses by human ES-cell-derived otic progenitors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Deafness is a condition with a high prevalence worldwide, produced primarily by the loss of the sensory hair cells and their associated spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Of all the forms of deafness, auditory neuropathy is of particular concern.

Transmission Disrupted: Modeling Auditory Synaptopathy in Zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common form of hearing loss in humans, and results from either dysfunction in hair cells, the sensory receptors of sound, or the neurons that innervate hair cells.

An antibody to RGMa promotes regeneration of cochlear synapses after noise exposure

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Auditory neuropathy is caused by the loss of afferent input to the brainstem via the components of the neural pathway comprising inner hair cells and the first order neurons of the spiral ganglion.

A counter gradient of Activin A and follistatin instructs the timing of hair cell differentiation in the murine cochlea

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The mammalian auditory sensory epithelium has one of the most stereotyped cellular patterns known in vertebrates. Mechano-sensory hair cells are arranged in precise rows, with one row of inner and three rows of outer hair cells spanning the length of the

Notch signaling limits supporting cell plasticity in the hair cell-damaged early postnatal murine cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
In mammals, auditory hair cells are generated only during embryonic development and loss or damage to hair cells is permanent. However, in non-mammalian vertebrate species, such as birds, neighboring glia-like supporting cells regenerate auditory hair ...

Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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 ...

Ontogenetic development of inner ear hair cell organization in the New Zealand carpet shark Cephaloscyllium isabellum

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
IntroductionThe inner ear hair cells of fishes can provide insight into the early evolution of vertebrate inner ear structure. Fishes represent some of the first vertebrates to evolve auditory capacity, and the same basic structure, the sensory hair cell,

The nicotinic receptor of cochlear hair cells: A possible pharmacotherapeutic target? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mechanosensory hair cells of the organ of Corti transmit information regarding sound to the central nervous system by way of peripheral afferent neurons.

Noise-induced and age-related hearing loss:  new perspectives and potential therapies [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
The classic view of sensorineural hearing loss has been that the primary damage targets are hair cells and that auditory nerve loss is typically secondary to hair cell degeneration. Recent work has challenged that view.

Mutations in ap1b1 Cause Mistargeting of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase Pump in Sensory Hair Cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The hair cells of the inner ear are polarized epithelial cells with a specialized structure at the apical surface, the mechanosensitive hair bundle.
