Abstract excerpt
Noise trauma in mammals can result in damage to multiple epithelial cochlear cell types, producing permanent hearing loss. Here we investigate whether epithelial stem cell transplantation can ameliorate noise-induced hearing loss in mice. Epithelial stem/progenitor cells isolated from adult mouse tongue displayed extensive proliferation in vitro as well as positive immunolabelling for the epithelial stem cell...
