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 …

The adult mammalian auditory receptor lacks any ability to repair and/or regenerate after
injury. However, the late developing cochlea still contains some stem-cell-like elements that …

Neuronal stem cells have been described in the post-natal cochlear nucleus recently. The
aim of the study was to analyse the neurogenic potential in the cochlear nucleus from the …

The cochlear nucleus is the first brainstem nucleus to receive sensory input from the
cochlea. Depriving this nucleus of auditory input leads to cellular and molecular …

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 …

Hearing loss in mammals is irreversible because cochlear neurons and hair cells do not
regenerate. To determine whether we could replace neurons lost to primary neuronal …

Auditory signals are processed in multiple central nervous system structures, including the
auditory cortex (AC). Development of stem cell biology provides the opportunity to identify …

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 …

Adult rat hippocampus-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) have been reported to have been
successfully grafted in several brain regions. To evaluate the possibility of treatment of …

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