Big Minis from Hair Cells: Mechanism and Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
What underlies the large variation in mEPSC amplitude in the auditory system? And is this variability important? In this issue of Neuron, Li et al. (2014) address the significance of large mEPSCs to auditory processing and Chapochnikov et al. (2014) describe a novel mechanism underlying them.

Therapeutic potential of cell therapy in the repair of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons: review article
The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...

Purpose: the aim of thos survey is establishment of an animal model through which a rapid distortion of the hair cell of cochlea administering amikacin and furosemide and using distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) the functioning of rat’s ear would be assessed.Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Sprague dawley rats (with average of weight 200-250g, 12 weeks post natal) were rando...
متن کاملStudy on Effect of Head, Tail, and Limbud extracts of Mouse on Differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells to Neural cells
Introduction: Adult stem cells are the group of cells which conserve their nature in tissues and organs among other cells. In recent years, the researchers reported the existence of stem cells on the Bulge of hair follicles near to the smooth muscle. It is possible to differentiate these stem cells to neural cells by induction of Shh, FGF, and RA factors. Because of existence of these factors ...
متن کاملDifferences in Growth Response of Human Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Herbal Extracts and a Growth Factor
Background: One of the key questions in biochemistry is why cell becomes aged and what are the involved factors? Why cell growth is stopped after some divisions and cells become senescent? This occurs in a greater frame in the whole body and cells dye after a while. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by a loss or decrease in hair follicle size, which could be related to the loss of ha...
