Abstract:
:During normal development, cells divide, then differentiate to adopt their individual form and function in an organism. Under most circumstances, mature cells cannot transdifferentiate, changing their fate to adopt a different form and function. Because differentiated cells cannot usually divide, the repair of injuries as well as regeneration largely depends on the activation of stem cell reserves. The mature cochlea is an exception among epithelial cell layers in that it lacks stem cells. Consequently, the sensory hair cells that receive sound information cannot be replaced, and their loss results in permanent hearing impairment. The lack of a spontaneous cell replacement mechanism in the organ of Corti, the mammalian auditory sensory epithelium, has led researchers to investigate circumstances in which transdifferentiation does occur. The hope is that this information can be used to design therapies to replace lost hair cells and restore impaired hearing in humans.

HEARING RESEARCH文献大全abstract::The cochlear frequency map is believed to depend on the progressive decrease in partition stiffness from base to apex. Measurements on cochleae from human cadavers by von Békésy (1960) suggested that the elasticity of the partition increases by a factor of 100 from the stapes to the helicotrema. However, conventional ...
