Deletion of the Notch ligand Jagged1 during cochlear maturation leads to inner hair cell defects and hearing loss

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
The mammalian cochlea is an exceptionally well-organized epithelium composed of hair cells, supporting cells, and innervating neurons. Loss or defects in any of these cell types, particularly the specialized sensory hair cells, leads to deafness.

Regeneration in the Auditory Organ in Cuban and African Dwarf Crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer and Osteolaemus tetraspis) Can We Learn From the Crocodile How to Restore Our Hearing?

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Background: In several non-mammalian species, auditory receptors undergo cell renewal after damage. This has raised hope of finding new options to treat human sensorineural deafness.

Hair cell regeneration, reinnervation, and restoration of hearing thresholds in the avian hearing organ

Cell Reports
Summary: Hearing starts, at the cellular level, with mechanoelectrical transduction by sensory hair cells. Sound information is then transmitted via afferent synaptic connections with auditory neurons.

Hair cell regeneration in the avian auditory epithelium

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2007
Regeneration of sensory hair cells in the mature avian inner ear was first described just over 20 years ago. Since then, it has been shown that many other non-mammalian species either continually produce new hair cells or regenerate them in response to trauma.

Activated notch causes deafness by promoting a supporting cell phenotype in developing auditory hair cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To determine whether activated Notch can promote a supporting cell fate during sensory cell differentiation in the inner ear.An activated form of the Notch1 receptor (NICD) was expressed in early differentiating hair cells using a Gfi1-Cre mouse allele ...

Insights into the regulation of hearing regeneration

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
Our perception of sound is mediated by sound-sensitive hair cells in the inner ear, located in a specialized neuro-epithelium that transmits information to the auditory cortex via the auditory pathway.

Specific Influences of Early Acoustic Environments on Cochlear Hair Cells in Postnatal Mice

Neural Plasticity, 2018
The auditory function develops and matures after birth in many mammalian species. After hearing onset, environmental sounds exert profound and long-term effects on auditory functions.
