Comparison of Phenotypes between Different \(vangl2\) Mutants Demonstrates Dominant Effects of the \(Looptail\) Mutation during Hair Cell Development [PDF]
, 2012 Experiments utilizing the \(Looptail\) mutant mouse, which harbors a missense mutation in the \(vangl2\) gene, have been essential for studies of planar polarity and linking the function of the core planar cell polarity proteins to other developmental ...

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.

Hair cell damage recruited Lgr5-expressing cells are hair cell progenitors in neonatal mouse utricle
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 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
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 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 (<
