April 2017 in “Molecular Medicine Reports” In this study, blocking autophagy with 3-methyladenine significantly improved the survival of inner ear hair cells in a gentamicin-induced ototoxic mouse model.
April 2025 in “Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology” In this study, researchers observed that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase in hair cells reduced stiffness and oscillation in bullfrog hair bundles and increased hearing thresholds in mice.
September 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that overexpressing Rps14 in supporting cells promoted hair cell regeneration in the organ of Corti by facilitating cell proliferation and differentiation.
January 1995 in “Equilibrium Research” This study suggests that supporting cells are the origin of regenerated hair cells in the avian basilar papilla, with epidermal growth factor as a potential trigger, and indicates a possibility of hair cell regeneration in mammalian vestibular epithelia.
