This study shows that PROX1 is essential for the differentiation and organization of lateral compartment supporting cells in the mouse organ of Corti, which indirectly affects innervation patterns.

The paper shows that Emx2 expression establishes the Line of Polarity Reversal in the developing mouse inner ear before hair cell specification.

The paper presents a large annotated dataset of cochlear hair cells for machine learning applications in hearing research.

This study investigates the role of GPR156 in mouse and zebrafish sensory organs, showing it relays orientation and transduction information but not afferent selectivity for direction-specific stimuli.

The paper identifies STK32A as a kinase regulated by EMX2 that determines hair cell planar polarity orientation in the mouse inner ear, with STK32A promoting bundle alignment opposite to EMX2's effect.
