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

Cochlear Development; New Tools and Approaches
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The sensory epithelium of the mammalian cochlea, the organ of Corti, is comprised of at least seven unique cell types including two functionally distinct types of mechanosensory hair cells.

mTOR Signaling in BDNF-Treated Guinea Pigs after Ototoxic Deafening
Biomedicines, 2022 The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling plays a critical role in cell homeostasis, growth and survival. Here, we investigated the localization of the main mTOR signaling proteins in the organ of Corti of normal-hearing and deafened guinea pigs,

Harmonic response of the organ of corti: results for wave dispersion [PDF]
, 2011 Inner ear is a remarkable multiphysical system and its modelling is a great challenge. The approach used in this paper aims to reproduce physic with a realistic description of the radial cross section of the cochlea. A 2Dâsection of the organ of Corti is

PLoS Biology, 2012 A large proportion of age-related hearing loss is caused by loss or damage to outer hair cells in the organ of Corti. The organ of Corti is the mechanosensory transducing apparatus in the inner ear and is composed of inner hair cells, outer hair cells ...

The endocannabinoid/cannabinoid receptor 2 system protects against cisplatin-induced hearing loss [PDF]
, 2018 Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) in the rat cochlea which was induced by cisplatin. In an organ of Corti-derived cell culture model, it was also shown that an agonist of the CB2R protected these cells ...

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018 Mutations in the GJB2 gene [which encodes connexin 26 (Cx26)] are the most common causes of hereditary hearing loss in humans, and previous studies showed postnatal development arrest of the organ of Corti in different Cx26-null mouse models.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 We review the evolution and development of organ of Corti hair cells with a focus on their molecular differences from vestibular hair cells. Such information is needed to therapeutically guide organ of Corti hair cell development in flat epithelia and ...

Brain Sciences, 2021 We investigated whether treatment with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is known to protect spiral ganglion cells (SGCs), could also protect hair cells (HCs) and supporting cells (SCs) in the organ of Corti of a guinea pig model of ...

Bucillamine prevents cisplatin-induced ototoxicity through induction of glutathione and antioxidant genes. [PDF]
, 2015 Bucillamine is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This study investigated the protective effects of bucillamine against cisplatin-induced damage in auditory cells, the organ of Corti from postnatal rats (P2) and adult Balb/C mice.
