Hair Cell Regeneration (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research, 75) (EPUB)

Comprehensive Update on Hair Cell Regeneration Research

By Mark E. Warchol, Jennifer S. Stone, Allison B. Coffin, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay

This book is a comprehensive update on the latest advancements in the field of hair cell regeneration research, offering valuable insights for academicians, clinicians, and commercial entities alike. It is a useful resource for students of auditory and vestibular neuroscience, audiologists, otologists, and industry professionals interested in potential future therapies for hearing and balance dysfunction. In 2008, Springer published a SHAR volume on hair cell regeneration, repair, and protection by Richard Salvi and Richard Fay. This updated volume provides a historical perspective on the subject, but the focus is on new and promising strategies for future work.

The volume covers various facets of hair cell regeneration research, including:

• Exploration of cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling hair cell regeneration in non-mammalian species, such as zebrafish and chickens
• Understanding of the capacity for hair cell replacement in mammals, including rodents and humans
• Identification of signals governing pro-regenerative behaviors in supporting cells, including hair cell progenitors
• Application of new techniques to study the genetic and epigenetic regulation of hair cell regeneration in mammals and non-mammals
• Contribution of stem cells toward building new tools to explore how hair cell regeneration is controlled, and toward developing cells and tissue for therapeutic transplantation
• Studies that have applied gene and drug therapy to promote regeneration in mammals
