Скачать или смотреть How Inner Hair Cells Shape Hearing: Insights from Ear Development Research

Discover the fascinating role of inner hair cells in the development of the inner ear. In this video, we explore groundbreaking research from Northwestern Medicine that shows how inner hair cells act as 'developmental architects,' guiding the formation and organization of supporting cells in the organ of Corti.
Learn how these cells influence the precise arrangement of sensory and supporting cells, why this cellular communication is crucial for hearing, and how this knowledge could pave the way for future hearing restoration therapies.
Key topics covered:
The structure and function of the organ of Corti in the cochlea
Role of inner hair cells in guiding supporting cell development
Experiments on genetically modified mice revealing cellular interactions
Implications for hearing loss treatments and regenerative medicine
