This paper investigates the role of P2X4 receptors in cochlear outer hair cells, showing their involvement in auditory function and micromechanical modulation through genetic knockout studies in mice.

This study shows that otoferlin's free C-terminal end is essential for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion in inner hair cells, as demonstrated by deafness and reduced exocytosis in a knock-in mouse model.

The paper investigates age-related changes in auditory ribbon synapses of mice, finding increased synaptic transmission and potential compensation for synapse loss.
