C1ql1 is expressed in adult outer hair cells of the cochlea in a tonotopic gradient.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Hearing depends on the transduction of sounds into neural signals by the inner hair cells of the cochlea. Cochleae also have outer hair cells with unique electromotile properties that increase auditory sensitivity, but they are particularly susceptible ...

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]
, 2006 To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Sono‐Mechanogenetics: Linking Ultrasound Physics With Cellular Mechanobiology
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sono‐mechanogenetics links ultrasound physics with cellular mechanotransduction to enable noninvasive control of engineered biological systems. Acoustic forces generate distinct deformation modes that activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can be coupled to synthetic gene circuits to regulate diverse cellular functions, including gene ...

Artificial induction of Sox21 regulates sensory cell formation in the embryonic chicken inner ear.
PLoS ONE, 2012 During embryonic development, hair cells and support cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear derive from progenitors that express Sox2, a member of the SoxB1 family of transcription factors.

Plastin 1 widens stereocilia by transforming actin filament packing from hexagonal to liquid [PDF]
, 2016 With their essential role in inner-ear function, stereocilia of sensory hair cells demonstrate the importance of cellular actin protrusions. Actin packing in stereocilia is mediated by crosslinkers of the plastin, fascin, and espin families.

Organoid Brain‐Machine‐Interface Devices for Central Nervous System Repair
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We envision organoid brain‐machine‐interface (Organoid‐BMI) devices as new biohybrid bidirectional communication pathways to connect the human CNS and the external world for personalized CNS repair and regeneration. ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) repair and regeneration suffer from tremendous clinical challenges due to current limitations in ...

The presynaptic ribbon maintains vesicle populations at the hair cell afferent fiber synapse [PDF]
, 2018 The ribbon is the structural hallmark of cochlear inner hair cell (IHC) afferent synapses, yet its role in information transfer to spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) remains unclear.
