Conclusion: We characterized side population (SP) cells in the cochlear nucleus (CN).
Some genes of stem/progenitor markers in sorted SP cells were identified by microarray …

The presence of stem cells in the organ of Corti raises the hope of regeneration of
mammalian inner ear cells. However, little is known about the distribution of endogenous …

Neural stem cells have been identified in multiple parts of the postnatal mammalian brain, as
well as in the inner ear. No investigation of potential neural stem cells in the cochlear …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to search for evidence of stem or progenitor cells in
the adult human cochlea by testing for sphere formation capacity and the presence of the …

Mammalian cochlear sensory epithelial cells are believed to possess minimal regenerative
potential because they halt proliferation during late stage of embryogenesis and never …

Background Previous reports showed the presence of limited numbers of stem cells in
neonatal murine cochlear sensory epithelia and these cells are progressively lost during the …

The adult mammalian cochlea lacks regenerative capacity, which is the main reason for the
permanence of hearing loss. Vestibular organs, in contrast, replace a small number of lost …

Nonmammalian vertebrates regenerate lost sensory hair cells by means of asymmetric
division of supporting cells. Inner ear or lateral line supporting cells in birds, amphibians …

NSCs/NPCs could be used for Sensorineural hearing loss treatment, because of the
extensive capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency. In order to isolate and identify neural …

OBJECTIVE: Recent reports have shown that multipotent stem cells/progenitor cells that are
capable of proliferation and regeneration are present in mammalian cochleae. However …
