June 2007 in “PLoS ONE” This study identified changes in transcription factor gene expression across various signaling pathways during inner ear hair cell regeneration in birds, revealing patterns and potential new pathways for future investigation.
November 2025 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy” This study found that administering calcium blockers verapamil or nimodipine significantly preserved auditory function and hair cell survival in Cx26-cKO mice, suggesting potential protective effects for other inner ear disorders.
This study identified Activin A and its antagonist follistatin as crucial regulators of hair cell differentiation in mice, suggesting a local gradient of Activin A influences auditory sensory epithelium development.
This study identifies Activin A and follistatin as key regulators of hair cell differentiation in the mouse auditory sensory epithelium, influencing the timing and pattern of hair cell development.
