Inner ear supporting cells: rethinking the silent majority.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 May 2013

Wan Guoqiang, Corfas Gabriel, Stone Jennifer S

Abstract excerpt

Sensory epithelia of the inner ear contain two major cell types: hair cells and supporting cells. It has been clear for a long time that hair cells play critical roles in mechanoreception and synaptic transmission. In contrast, until recently the more abundant supporting cells were viewed as serving primarily structural and homeostatic functions. In this review, we discuss the growing information about the roles...
