Approaches of auditory hair cells induction from stem cells

open access: yesOtorhinolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery, 2017
Hair cells are the sensory epithelial cells of both the auditory and the vestibular systems in the inner ear of all vertebrates. Auditory hair cells are located in the organ of corti on a thin layer of basement membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear ...

Role of somatostatin receptor-2 in gentamicin-induced auditory hair cell loss in the Mammalian inner ear. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons of the mammalian auditory system do not regenerate, and their loss leads to irreversible hearing loss. Aminoglycosides induce auditory hair cell death in vitro, and evidence suggests that phosphatidylinositol-3 ...

CIB2 interacts with TMC1 and TMC2 and is essential for mechanotransduction in auditory hair cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Inner ear hair cells detect sound through deflection of stereocilia, the microvilli-like projections that are arranged in rows of graded heights. Calcium and integrin-binding protein 2 is essential for hearing and localizes to stereocilia, but its exact ...

Autophagy protects auditory hair cells against neomycin-induced damage

open access: yesAutophagy, 2017
Aminoglycosides are toxic to sensory hair cells (HCs). Macroautophagy/autophagy is an essential and highly conserved self-digestion pathway that plays important roles in the maintenance of cellular function and viability under stress.

Mechanotransduction current is essential for stability of the transducing stereocilia in mammalian auditory hair cells

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Mechanotransducer channels at the tips of sensory stereocilia of inner ear hair cells are gated by the tension of 'tip links' interconnecting stereocilia. To ensure maximal sensitivity, tip links are tensioned at rest, resulting in a continuous influx of

Recent Advancements in the Regeneration of Auditory Hair Cells and Hearing Restoration

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Neurosensory responses of hearing and balance are mediated by receptors in specialized neuroepithelial sensory cells. Any disruption of the biochemical and molecular pathways that facilitate these responses can result in severe deficits, including ...

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 ...
