Efferent modulation of hair cell function.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review covers the articles published between 2010 and early 2011 that presented new findings on inner-ear efferents and their ability to modulate hair cell function. RECENT FINDINGS Studies published within the review period have increased our understanding of efferent mechanisms on hair cells in the cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelium and provide insights on eff...
متن کاملCochlear outer-hair-cell efferents and complex-sound-induced hearing loss: protective and opposing effects.
Centrifugal crossed and uncrossed medial olivocochlear systems (CMOCS and UMOCS) terminate on cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) and exercise effects through a nicotinic cholinergic receptor. Hence their cochlear effects have not been differentiated. Recent work on protection from loud-sound-induced temporary threshold shifts (TTSs) in hearing sensitivity suggest the two OHC efferent systems may ...
متن کاملCYTOKINE AND GROWTH FACTOR MODULATION OF CELL CYCLE EVENTS IN HUMAN MELANOMA CELL LINES
Cytokines influence cell cycle events, which in some but not all instances can be associated with melanoma progression. Analysis of the G0/G 1 and S phase fractions of the cell cycle was used to assay the proliferative or inhibitory activity of cytokines against ten human melanoma cell lines, including pairs of cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tissue of individual patients. Cy...
متن کاملTherapeutic strategy for hair regeneration: hair cycle activation, niche environment modulation, wound-induced follicle neogenesis, and stem cell engineering.
INTRODUCTION There are major new advancements in the fields of stem cell biology, developmental biology, regenerative hair cycling, and tissue engineering. The time is ripe to integrate, translate, and apply these findings to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Readers will learn about new progress in cellular and molecular aspects of hair follicle development, regeneration, and poten...
متن کاملModulation of Outer Hair Cell Electromotility by Cochlear Supporting Cells and Gap Junctions
Outer hair cell (OHC) or prestin-based electromotility is an active cochlear amplifier in the mammalian inner ear that can increase hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity. In situ, Deiters supporting cells are well-coupled by gap junctions and constrain OHCs standing on the basilar membrane. Here, we report that both electrical and mechanical stimulations in Deiters cells (DCs) can modul...
