  • Unlike the canonical isoform NNAT, we determined that the TCR product (NNATx) does not show detectable interaction with the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2 Ca2+ pump, cannot increase cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels, and therefore does not enhance neuronal differentiation in Neuro-2a cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • Furthermore, NNATx-deficient Neuro-2a cells, generated using CRISPR-Cas9, showed increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels and enhanced neuronal differentiation. (bvsalud.org)
  • The protein acts as a transcription factor that plays a critical role in hair cell differentiation and maturation. (ysjournal.com)
  • Consistently, phase-locking of synaptic vesicle releases from hair cells was also significantly reduced by blocking PMCA, MCU, or SERCA, but not NCX. (jneurosci.org)
  • Here we examine Ca 2+ clearance from hair cell synaptic ribbons in a fully mature preparation at physiological concentration of external Ca 2+ and at physiological temperature. (jneurosci.org)
  • To achieve accurate encoding of sounds, inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon-type synapses are highly specialized to release synaptic vesicles (SVs) with high rates and temporal precision. (uni-goettingen.de)
  • These cells have small hairlike projections (cilia) that extend into the fluid. (msdmanuals.com)
  • There are many different genetic mutations that prevent the body from producing fully-functioning hair cells. (ysjournal.com)
  • When the hair cells move with the fluid waves, they create electrical signals. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Thin hairs on the antennules have more than four hundred different kinds of receptor cell, each tuned to a specific chemical compound. (philipgraham.net)
  • The combination of ingredients is purported to enhance auditory function, making it easier to hear sounds clearly. (hotels-hotel-reservations-discount-hotels.com)
  • But research has discovered nutritional ingredients and formulas that suggest there is nutritive support for optimal auditory function to help maintain hearing acuity. (gerbes.com)
  • For information on the structure and function of the cells that constitute the body, see Cells. (rincondelvago.com)
  • This article discusses the anatomy of the auditory pathway (see the following images), as well as a few physiologic considerations and clinical applications. (medscape.com)
  • For anyone exhibiting a degree of hearing difficulty early assessment and resultant intervention will enable one to maintain their auditory quality of life. (helpinghandshomecare.co.uk)
  • The program "Physics of Hearing: From Neurobiology to Information Theory and Back" integrates scientific research from different subject areas to work together in order to make sense of the information theory of complex auditory signals. (dailynexus.com)
  • In this comprehensive review, we will delve into the world of Cortexi Drops, exploring its ingredients, benefits, potential side effects, and whether it lives up to its claims of enhancing hearing. (hotels-hotel-reservations-discount-hotels.com)
  • Cortexi Drops present an intriguing option for individuals looking to enhance their hearing or protect their auditory health. (hotels-hotel-reservations-discount-hotels.com)
  • You can lose 30% to 50% of hair cells before changes in your hearing can be measured by a hearing test. (cdc.gov)
  • Hair cell regeneration was not a major topic of research in hearing science until 1986-87. (hearingreview.com)
  • The outcome showed partial, but stable, hearing recovery, shown by the presence of hair cells exhibiting stereociliary bundles. (ysjournal.com)
  • When part of this studio, say the inner ear or the auditory nerve, gets damaged, you can have trouble hearing. (fda-approved-rx.net)
  • Hearing effects the every part of our lives. (educheer.com)
  • All of these parts of the outer, middle, inner ear, and auditory nerve must be functioning for hearing to be normal. (hubpages.com)
