HSV-1 not only in human vestibular ganglia but also in the vestibular labyrinth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the vestibular ganglion (VG) is the suspected cause of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent studies reported the presence of HSV-1 DNA not only in human VGs but also in vestibular nuclei, a finding that ...

An abnormally large prostatic utricle cyst associated with unilateral renal agenesis

open access: yesUrology Annals, 2013
Prostatic utricle cyst is an uncommon congenital disorder associated with urogenital anomalies. We present a case of an abnormally large prostatic utricle cyst filling the whole of the abdominal cavity with unilateral renal agenesis in an 8-year-old male

Age-dependent structural reorganization of utricular ribbon synapses

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
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 ...

Plastin 1 widens stereocilia by transforming actin filament packing from hexagonal to liquid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
With their essential role in inner-ear function, stereocilia of sensory hair cells demonstrate the importance of cellular actin protrusions. Actin packing in stereocilia is mediated by crosslinkers of the plastin, fascin, and espin families.

Stiffening of Circumferential F-Actin Bands Correlates With Regenerative Failure and May Act as a Biomechanical Brake in the Mammalian Inner Ear

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Synaptopathy as a Mechanism for Age-Related Vestibular Dysfunction in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2019
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.

Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular system of the chicken.

Transcription factor Emx2 controls stereociliary bundle orientation of sensory hair cells

open access: yeseLife, 2017
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.

The tip-link antigen, a protein associated with the transduction complex of sensory hair cells, is protocadherin-15 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Sound and acceleration are detected by hair bundles, mechanosensory structures located at the apical pole of hair cells in the inner ear. The different elements of the hair bundle, the stereocilia and a kinocilium, are interconnected by a variety of link
