The paper identifies a homozygous splice-site variant in PALM3 and a missense variant in OTOA in a family with autosomal recessive hearing loss, supporting PALM3 as a candidate gene through functional and comparative analysis.

This study investigates the developmental plasticity of cochlear inner hair cell ribbon synapses using live-cell imaging, revealing activity-dependent mechanisms in their structural maturation.

This study identifies Paralemmin-3 as a critical protein for maintaining the structural integrity of the lateral wall in auditory hair cells, with its loss causing hearing impairment and structural collapse.
