Auditory hair cell replacement and hearing improvement by Atoh1 gene therapy in deaf mammals

TL;DR: It is reported that Atoh1, a gene also known as Math1 encoding a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor and key regulator of hair cell development, induces regeneration of hair cells and substantially improves hearing thresholds in the mature deaf inner ear after delivery to nonsensory cells through adenovectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface modification of neural recording electrodes with conducting polymer/biomolecule blends

TL;DR: The results indicate that the chemical composition, morphology, electronic transport, and bioactivity of polymer coatings on electrode surfaces on a multichannel micromachined neural probe can be adjusted by controlling electrochemical deposition conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Math1 Gene Transfer Generates New Cochlear Hair Cells in Mature Guinea Pigs In Vivo

TL;DR: It is concluded that nonsensory cells in the mature cochlea retain the competence to generate new hair cells after overexpression of Math1 in vivo and that Math1 is necessary and sufficient to direct hair cell differentiation in these mature nonsensary cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of deafness in shaker-2 mice by an unconventional myosin in a BAC transgene

TL;DR: Shaker-2 mice were found to have an amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position within the motor domain of this myosin this article, which suggests that Myo15 is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea.
Journal ArticleDOI

COQ6 mutations in human patients produce nephrotic syndrome with sensorineural deafness

TL;DR: 6 different mutations in coenzyme Q10 biosynthesis monooxygenase 6 (COQ6) in 13 individuals from 7 families were identified and each mutation was linked to early-onset SRNS with sensorineural deafness, suggesting that coen enzyme Q10-related forms of SRNS and hearing loss can be molecularly identified and potentially treated.
