This study shows that hair cell function declines with age in mice before hearing loss is detectable, challenging the idea that stereocilia are the most fragile part of sensory cells in aging.

This study shows that lack of oncomodulin in adult mice increases ATP-dependent calcium signaling and susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss.

This study shows that OCM uniquely regulates intracellular Ca2+ signaling in neonatal cochlear outer hair cells by slowing Ca2+ kinetics and reducing free [Ca2+]i.

The paper introduces a fluorescent probe, CyDAP, for detecting cytosolic dopamine in live Drosophila brains and links dopamine imbalance to Parkinson's disease vulnerability.

The paper shows that spontaneous Ca2+ signals from OHCs and non-sensory cells coordinate to refine OHC afferent innervation during development.
