ILDR1 deficiency causes degeneration of cochlear outer hair cells and disrupts the structure of the organ of Corti: a mouse model for human DFNB42

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
Immunoglobulin-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) is a poorly characterized gene that was first identified in lymphoma cells. Mutations in ILDR1 are responsible for DFNB42, but the pathogenesis of hearing loss caused by ILDR1 mutations remains to ...

Deficiency of angulin-2/ILDR1, a tricellular tight junction-associated membrane protein, causes deafness with cochlear hair cell degeneration in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Tricellular tight junctions seal the extracellular spaces of tricellular contacts, where the vertices of three epithelial cells meet, and are required for the establishment of a strong barrier function of the epithelial cellular sheet.

A ratchet mechanism for amplification in low-frequency mammalian hearing

open access: yes, 2010
The sensitivity and frequency selectivity of hearing result from tuned amplification by an active process in the mechanoreceptive hair cells. In most vertebrates the active process stems from the active motility of hair bundles.

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Targeted deletion of Sox10 by Wnt1-cre defects neuronal migration and projection in the mouse inner ear. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Sensory nerves of the brainstem are mostly composed of placode-derived neurons, neural crest-derived neurons and neural crest-derived Schwann cells. This mixed origin of cells has made it difficult to dissect interdependence for fiber guidance. Inner ear-

Efficacy of three drugs for protecting against gentamicin-induced hair cell and hearing losses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSEExposure to an ototoxic level of an aminoglycoside can result in hearing loss. In this we study investigated the otoprotective efficacy of dexamethasone (DXM), melatonin (MLT) and tacrolimus (TCR) in gentamicin (GM)-treated animals ...

Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Auditory Neuropathy (gCAN)

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Auditory neuropathy (AN) is an auditory disorder that affects the function of the auditory pathway. An increasing number of AN cases have been identified with the revelation of the underlying mechanisms, the advancements of diagnostic and detecting techniques.

Use of scanning electron microscopy in the cochlea of guinea pigs

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2020
Introduction: The use of electron microscopy in the study of the inner ear has allowed us to observe minute details of the hair cells, especially in ototoxicity studies; however, the preparation of this material is a difficult and delicate task.

Behavioral characteristics in sensing mechanism of the Corti

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Some experiments can’t be realized because the cochlea’s Corti is the most delicate and complex sensory organ. In this paper, some typical and special behavioral characteristics in the process of sensation were found in medical clinic.
