The paper shows that Kif1a and microtubules are essential for maintaining synaptic-vesicle populations at ribbon synapses in zebrafish hair cells, affecting neurotransmission and behavior.

This study shows cisplatin accumulates in hair cell mitochondria and causes dysregulation, linking mitochondrial dysfunction to cisplatin-induced hearing loss.

This study shows that prolonged dexamethasone exposure promotes lateral-line hair cell regeneration in zebrafish but impairs mitochondrial function and hair cell resilience to ototoxic stress.

This study shows mechanical overstimulation causes acute injury and synapse loss in zebrafish neuromasts, but recovery occurs rapidly.

This study investigates how Mpv17 affects mitochondrial function and synapse integrity in zebrafish hair cells under stress, finding impaired mitochondrial activity leads to increased vulnerability and altered synaptic morphology.
