The development and evolution of the inner ear sensory patches and their innervation is
reviewed. Recent molecular developmental data suggest that development of these sensory …

This study describes comprehensive polling of transcription start and termination sites and
analysis of previously unidentified full-length complementary DNAs derived from the mouse …

GENETIC deafness is common, affecting about 1 in 2,000 births 1 . Many of these show
primary abnormalities of the sensory neuro-epithelia of the inner ear, as do several hearing-…

The molecular basis of mechanosensation, mechanosensory cell development and
mechanosensory organ development is reviewed with an emphasis on its evolution. In contrast to …

After infection with coxsackie virus B3 (CB3), H-2 congenic mice on an A- background
develop immunologically mediated myocarditis associated with an increased titer of myosin …

Usher syndrome type IIa (OMIM 276901), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by
moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss and progressive retinitis pigmentosa, maps …

We investigated whether co‐expression of Neurog1 and Atoh1 in common neurosensory
precursors could explain the loss of hair cells in Neurog1 null mice. Analysis of terminal mitosis…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function through the RNA interference
(RNAi) pathway and post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in eukaryotic …

Inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs) are the two types of sensory receptor
cells that are critical for hearing in the mammalian cochlea. IHCs and OHCs have different …
