Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Severe hearing loss or deafness is often caused by cochlear hair cell loss and can be mitigated by a cochlear implant (CI). CIs target the auditory nerve, consisting of spiral ganglion cells (SGCs), which degenerate gradually, following hair cell loss ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Current preclinical studies of AAV‐mediated gene therapy explore different strategies based on the characteristics of inner ear diseases. For genetic hearing loss, approaches include the replacement of a “good gene,” removal of a “bad gene,” or direct correction of mutations through base editing.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Noise‐induced synaptopathy (NIS) is largely reversible due to self‐repair. NIS and noise‐induced hidden hearing loss are two concepts with similarities and differences. The major hearing deficits in NIHHL are temporal processing disorders. The translation of animal data in NIS studies to humans is hindered by many factors.

A Single Aplysia Neurotrophin Mediates Synaptic Facilitation via Differentially Processed Isoforms
Cell Reports, 2013 Neurotrophins control the development and adult plasticity of the vertebrate nervous system. Failure to identify invertebrate neurotrophin orthologs, however, has precluded studies in invertebrate models, limiting our understanding of fundamental aspects

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
PLoS ONE, 2013 Neurotrophins (NTs) are emerging as important mediators of angiogenesis and fibrosis. We investigated the expression of the NTs nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) and their receptors TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In ARHL, the stria vascularis, acting as a cochlear battery, gradually loses its ability to maintain the endocochlear potential, leading to impaired hair cell function and progressive hearing loss. Single‐cell sequencing reveals age‐related cellular changes in the cochlea, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of aging and potential ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Neurotrophins (NTs) are a subset of the neurotrophic factor family. These growth factors were originally named based on the nerve growth functional assays used to identify them. NTs act as paracrine or autocrine factors for cells expressing NT receptors.

Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hearing loss is a common disease affecting many people, and inner ear lesions are one of the most important causes. This review focuses on the treatment of inner ear hearing loss by drug delivery systems. It includes the current methods and technologies developed, and it predicts possible directions.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 BackgroundEvidence demonstrates that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD) and they are proposed as predictors of antidepressant ...

Neurotrophin and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Fetal Kidney
Developmental Biology, 1996 Vertebrate kidney development involves a series of complex interactions between the ureteric bud and undifferentiated mesenchyme resulting in the production of the nephron unit. These interactions are thought to be dependent on a variety of locally derived soluble factors, including peptide growth factors and their receptors.
