This study identifies HSD17B7 as critical for sensory hair cell function by regulating cholesterol synthesis, showing its role in auditory physiology and hearing loss.

This study identifies a THOC1 variant causing late-onset nonsyndromic hearing loss via p53-mediated hair cell apoptosis in zebrafish.

This study identifies Insm1a as a critical regulator of motor neuron development in zebrafish, showing it modulates olig2 and nkx6.1 expression to affect neuronal differentiation and function.
