Consequences of Location-Dependent Organ of Corti Micro-Mechanics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The cochlea performs frequency analysis and amplification of sounds. The graded stiffness of the basilar membrane along the cochlear length underlies the frequency-location relationship of the mammalian cochlea. The somatic motility of outer hair cell is

Stemness of the organ of Corti relates to the epigenetic status of Sox2 enhancers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In the adult mammalian auditory epithelium, the organ of Corti, loss of sensory hair cells results in permanent hearing loss. The underlying cause for the lack of regenerative response is the depletion of otic progenitors in the cell pool of the sensory ...

Bmi1 Loss in the Organ of Corti Results in p16ink4a Upregulation and Reduced Cell Proliferation of Otic Progenitors In Vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The mature mammalian organ of Corti does not regenerate spontaneously after injury, mainly due to the absence of cell proliferation and the depletion of otic progenitors with age.

Quantitative High-Resolution Cellular Map of the Organ of Corti
Cell Reports, 2015 The organ of Corti harbors highly specialized sensory hair cells and surrounding supporting cells that are essential for the sense of hearing. Here, we report a single cell gene expression data analysis and visualization strategy that allows for the ...

Distribution of ciliary adaptor proteins tubby and TULP3 in the organ of Corti [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Tubby-like proteins are membrane-associated adaptors that mediate directional trafficking into primary cilia. In inner ear sensory epithelia, cilia—including the hair cell’s kinocilium—play important roles as organizers of polarity, tissue architecture ...

A glucocorticoid-regulating molecule, Fkbp5, may interact with mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling in the organ of Corti of mice cochleae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFKBP5 is a 51-Da FK506-binding protein and member of the immunophilin family involved in controlling the signaling of glucocorticoid receptor from the cytosol to nucleus.

Identification of factors that maintain mammalian outer hair cells in adult organ of Corti explants
Hearing Research, 2002 peer reviewedBoth outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs) survive and mature in 3 days old rat organ of Corti explants cultured for I month in a minimal essential medium. In contrast.
