The segregation of Calb1, Calb2, and Prph neurons reveals distinct and mixed neuronal populations and projections to hair cells in the inner ear and central nuclei. [PDF]
Dev DynThree populations of hair cells have a distinct expression of Calb1 and Calb2. (A, A′D) The central is highly positive for Calb1 while surrounding HC are positive for Calb2. Later, a calyx forms primarily with Calb1. (B, B′, D′, D″) Saccule and utricle start out positive for Calb2 but will upregulate the Calb1 in the striola that is primarily forming ...

Laparoscopic excision of symptomatic prostatic utricle following proximal hypospadias repair
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2021 Prostatic utricle results from incomplete regression of the Müllerian duct remnant and is closely associated with diseases such as proximal hypospadias. Surgical treatment is indicated for the symptomatic cyst.

A Comparative Study on the Success Rates of Two Approaches for Seminal Vesiculoscopy
American Journal of Men's Health, 2022 This study aimed to compare the success rates of two approaches for seminal vesiculoscopy: through the interior of the prostatic utricle and through the neck of the prostatic utricle.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 The loss of inner ear hair cells causes permanent hearing and balance deficits in humans and other mammals, but non-mammals recover after supporting cells (SCs) divide and replace hair cells.

Comparative Cochlear-Vestibular Aging Reveals Age-Aligned Mitochondrial Ultrastructural Burden, Mitophagy-Autophagy Remodeling, Synaptic Uncoupling, and Sensory Functional Decline. [PDF]
Aging CellThis study maps age‐aligned cochlear and vestibular decline in SAMP8 mice, linking functional impairment with synaptic vulnerability, mitochondrial ultrastructural injury, and autophagy/mitophagy–lysosome transcriptional remodeling. The findings provide an integrated framework for understanding shared inner‐ear aging trajectories.

Cell-Specific Transcriptional Responses to Heat Shock in the Mouse Utricle Epithelium
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Sensory epithelia of the inner ear contain mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) and glia-like supporting cells (SCs), both of which are required for hearing and balance functions.

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway on Polarity Formation of Utricle Hair Cells
Neural Plasticity, 2021 As part of the inner ear, the vestibular system is responsible for sense of balance, which consists of three semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule.

Urothelial carcinoma within the prostatic utricle of an adult with hypospadias and Fanconi anemia
Urology Case Reports, 2020 Prostatic utricles are rare in the general population and are often otherwise unremarkable anatomic variants. These structures are contiguous with the prostatic urethra and are nevertheless susceptible to urothelial carcinoma.

Multiscale modeling of mechanotransduction in the utricle [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2019 We review recent progress in using numerical models to relate utricular hair bundle and otoconial membrane (OM) structure to the functional requirements imposed by natural behavior in turtles. The head movements section reviews the evolution of experimental attempts to understand vestibular system function with emphasis on turtles, including data ...

Monosynaptic targets of utricular afferents in the larval zebrafish
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 The larval zebrafish acquires a repertoire of vestibular-driven behaviors that aid survival early in development. These behaviors rely mostly on the utricular otolith, which senses inertial (tilt and translational) head movements.
