Targeting Neutrophil/Eosinophil Extracellular Traps by Aptamer‐Functionalized Nanosheets to Overcome Recalcitrant Inflammatory Disorders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, C‐TAH, as multifunctional nanosheets, is developed with tannic acid and histone aptamer coverage. C‐TAH displays mild cytotoxicity, robust dsDNA and NETs/EETs binding efficiency, and potent antioxidant and antibacterial ability in vitro. C‐TAH treatment ameliorates dysregulated inflammation and restores hearing function in animal models,

Auditory Hair Cell Mechanotransduction Channels Dynamically Shape the Mechanical Properties of Their Membrane Environment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Recognition of foreign-accented vocoded speech by native English listeners

Acta Acustica, 2023
This study examined how talker accentedness affects the recognition of noise-vocoded speech by native English listeners and how contextual information interplays with talker accentedness during this process.

Comparative Cochlear Transcriptomics in Echolocating Bats and Mouse Reveals Hras as Protector Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...
