Lgr5-Positive Supporting Cells Generate New Hair Cells in the Postnatal Cochlea [PDF]
The prevalence of hearing loss after damage to the mammalian cochlea has been thought to be due to a lack of spontaneous regeneration of hair cells, the primary receptor cells for sound.

Clonal Expansion of Lgr5-Positive Cells from Mammalian Cochlea and High-Purity Generation of Sensory Hair Cells [PDF]
Death of cochlear hair cells, which do not regenerate, is a cause of hearing loss in a high percentage of the population. Currently, no approach exists to obtain large numbers of cochlear hair cells.

Hair cell damage recruited Lgr5-expressing cells are hair cell progenitors in neonatal mouse utricle [PDF]
Damage-activated stem/progenitor cells play important roles in regenerating lost cells and in tissue repair. Previous studies reported that the mouse utricle has limited hair cell regeneration ability after hair cell ablation.

Calcium entry into stereocilia drives adaptation of the mechanoelectrical transducer current of mammalian cochlear hair cells [PDF]
Mechanotransduction in the auditory and vestibular systems depends on mechanosensitive ion channels in the stereociliary bundles that project from the apical surface of the sensory hair cells.

Reprogramming of the cochlea with hair-cell-specific transcription factors such as ATOH1 has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for hearing loss.

Myosin and Adaptation by Hair Cells [PDF]
Conclusive identification of the adaptation motor is not entirely academic. For example, a rational approach to identifying other members of the transduction apparatus is first to identify one component—the adaptation motor seems most likely—and then to identify interacting proteins using biochemical and molecular biological methods.

Hair Follicle Stem Cells [PDF]
The workshop on Hair Follicle Stem Cells brought together investigators who have used a variety of approaches to try to understand the biology of follicular epithelial stem cells, and the role that these cells play in regulating the hair cycle.

The Transcriptomics to Proteomics of Hair Cell Regeneration: Looking for a Hair Cell in a Haystack [PDF]
Mature mammals exhibit very limited capacity for regeneration of auditory hair cells, while all non-mammalian vertebrates examined can regenerate them. In an effort to find therapeutic targets for deafness and balance disorders, scientists have examined gene expression patterns in auditory tissues under different developmental and experimental ...

Hair cell maturation is differentially regulated along the tonotopic axis of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
Sound amplification within the mammalian cochlea depends upon specialized hair cells, the outer hair cells (OHCs), which possess both sensory and motile capabilities.

Signaling pathways in hair aging
Hair follicle (HF) homeostasis is regulated by various signaling pathways. Disruption of such homeostasis leads to HF disorders, such as alopecia, pigment loss, and hair aging, which is causing severe health problems and aesthetic concerns.
