This study identifies Mif as an oocyte-stored protein that promotes preimplantation embryo development through extracellular signaling, showing its role in blastocyst growth and density-dependent effects.

This study shows that newly regenerated inner hair cells in the cochlea lack functional mechanosensory transduction, preventing hearing recovery despite successful cell regeneration.

This study shows that Piezo2 in outer hair cells is essential for ultrasonic hearing in mice, but not for low-frequency hearing.
