An analytic physically motivated model of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 145(1), 45-60 (2019), 2020
We develop an analytic model of the mammalian cochlea. We use a mixed physical-phenomenological approach by utilizing existing work on the physics of classical box-representations of the cochlea, and behavior of recent data-derived wavenumber estimates.

Differentiation of the lateral compartment of the cochlea requires a temporally restricted FGF20 signal.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Harmonic response of the organ of corti: results for wave dispersion [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 2D‐section of the organ of Corti is

A multiscale model of the organ of Corti [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures, 2009
The organ of Corti is the sensory epithelium in the cochlea of the inner ear. It is modeled as a shell-of-revolution structure with continuous and discrete components. Our recent work has been on the inclusion of the viscous fluid. Measurements from various laboratories provide the opportunity to refocus on the elastic properties.

Developmental abnormalities in supporting cell phalangeal processes and cytoskeleton in the Gjb2 knockdown mouse model

open access: yesDisease 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.

Bucillamine prevents cisplatin-induced ototoxicity through induction of glutathione and antioxidant genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Evolutionary and Developmental Biology Provide Insights Into the Regeneration of Organ of Corti Hair Cells

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

No Protective Effects of Hair Cells or Supporting Cells in Ototoxically Deafened Guinea Pigs upon Administration of BDNF

open access: yesBrain 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 ...

Cellular cartography of the organ of Corti based on optical tissue clearing and machine learning

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The highly organized spatial arrangement of sensory hair cells in the organ of Corti is essential for inner ear function. Here, we report a new analytical pipeline, based on optical clearing of tissue, for the construction of a single-cell resolution map

The endocannabinoid/cannabinoid receptor 2 system protects against cisplatin-induced hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
