Synaptopathy as a Mechanism for Age-Related Vestibular Dysfunction in Mice
Age-related decline of inner ear function contributes to both hearing loss and balance disorders, which lead to impaired quality of life and falls that can result in injury and even death.

Transcription factor Emx2 controls stereociliary bundle orientation of sensory hair cells
The asymmetric location of stereociliary bundle (hair bundle) on the apical surface of mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) dictates the direction in which a given HC can respond to cues such as sound, head movements, and water pressure.

Age-dependent structural reorganization of utricular ribbon synapses
In mammals, spatial orientation is synaptically-encoded by sensory hair cells of the vestibular labyrinth. Vestibular hair cells (VHCs) harbor synaptic ribbons at their presynaptic active zones (AZs), which play a critical role in molecular scaffolding ...

Hair cell damage recruited Lgr5-expressing cells are hair cell progenitors in neonatal mouse utricle
Damage-activated stem/progenitor cells play important roles in regenerating lost cells and in tissue repair. Previous studies reported that the mouse utricle has limited hair cell regeneration ability after hair cell ablation.

Co-transduction of dual-adeno-associated virus vectors in the neonatal and adult mouse utricles
Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer is an efficient method of gene over-expression in the vestibular end organs. However, AAV has limited usefulness for delivering a large gene, or multiple genes, due to its small packaging capacity (<

Excision of Prostatic Utricle: When? How?
The prostatic utricle is a rare anomaly in the urogenital system and is generally thought to develop from remnants of the Müllerian duct. Prostatic utricle is usually accompanied by hypospadias, renal agenesis, and cryptorchidism, and it is mostly ...

Unusually large prostatic utricle cyst
Prostatic utricle cyst is one of the uncommon conditions and only a few cases have been reported. We present a case of unusually large prostatic utricle cyst in a 13- year- old male. He presented with burning urination and post-void dribbling of urine. A cystic mass was felt on digital per rectal examination.
