The paper shows that XIRP2 facilitates repair of noise-induced damage to stereocilia F-actin cores in mouse auditory hair cells by enriching monomeric gamma-actin at damaged sites.

This study identifies LMO7 as a hair cell protein localized to the cuticular plate, showing that its deficiency leads to structural defects and progressive hearing loss.

This study shows that apoptosis and necroptosis contribute to cisplatin and aminoglycoside ototoxicity, with potential for therapeutic intervention.
