1333 Spheroids cell cultures as a promising study model for hair follice regeneration

Fish n' Chicks: Model Recipes for Hair-Cell Regeneration?

after hair cells have been killed, but the response is In nearly every waking moment, our brains respond to much weaker than in nonmammals. All those epithelia signals that originate from hair cells. These cells reside contain relatively undifferentiated supporting cells that in six separate epithelia in our internal ears and are cannot be reliably subdivided on thebasis of histological detecto...

Aminoglycoside ototoxicity and hair cell ablation in the adult gerbil: A simple model to study hair cell loss and regeneration

The Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, has been widely employed as a model for studies of the inner ear. In spite of its established use for auditory research, no robust protocols to induce ototoxic hair cell damage have been developed for this species. In this paper, we demonstrate the development of an aminoglycoside-induced model of hair cell loss, using kanamycin potentiated by the lo...

The Transcriptomics to Proteomics of Hair Cell Regeneration: Looking for a Hair Cell in a Haystack

Mature mammals exhibit very limited capacity for regeneration of auditory hair cells, while all non-mammalian vertebrates examined can regenerate them. In an effort to find therapeutic targets for deafness and balance disorders, scientists have examined gene expression patterns in auditory tissues under different developmental and experimental conditions. Microarray technology has allowed the l...
