This study investigates the effects of Tbx2 overexpression on OHC transdifferentiation into IHC-like cells across different ages, finding partial but incomplete reprogramming.

This study shows that newly regenerated inner hair cells in the cochlea lack functional mechanosensory transduction, preventing hearing recovery despite successful cell regeneration.

This study shows that βV spectrin knockout mice have normal outer hair cell function but reduced auditory brainstem response amplitudes and fewer nerve fibers, indicating βV spectrin's role in neuronal structure rather than OHC function.

This study shows that the MOC efferent system couples bilateral spontaneous activity in the developing auditory system, and its absence reduces auditory sensitivity at hearing onset.
