Journal of Neurophysiology, 2021 The synapse between inner hair cells and auditory nerve fiber dendrites shows large excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs), which are either monophasic or multiphasic.

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]
, 2019 Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

CIB2 interacts with TMC1 and TMC2 and is essential for mechanotransduction in auditory hair cells
Nature 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
Autophagy, 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.

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

eLife, 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

mTORC2 regulates auditory hair cell structure and function
iScience, 2023 mTOR broadly controls cell growth, but little is known about the role of mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) in the inner ear. To investigate the role of mTORC2 in sensory hair cells (HCs), we generated HC-specific Rictor knockout (HC-RicKO) mice. HC-RicKO mice exhibited early-onset, progressive, and profound hearing loss.

Transmission Disrupted: Modeling Auditory Synaptopathy in Zebrafish
Frontiers 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.

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

Frontiers 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,
