This study investigates the genetic interactions between Pou4f3, Gfi1, and Rbm24 in cochlear hair cell survival using mouse models and identifies regulatory elements and expression patterns.

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 identifies Tbx2 as essential for inner hair cell development and shows that its co-expression with Atoh1 can reprogram supporting cells into functional inner hair cells.
