MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Not male pattern baldness, but the loss of sensory hair, is a very serious topic. Sensory hair cells convert sound and motion into our sense of hearing, movement, and head position. In mammals, the loss of hair cells is irreversible. Or is it? Hair cells in other vertebrates are capable of regenerating and recovering partial or complete function. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the regeneration of sensory hair cells.
Contents:
Overview: Regeneration and Repair.- Morphological Correlates of Regeneration and Repair in the Inner Ear.- Recovery of Function in the Avian Auditory System After Ototrauma.- Functional Recovery After Hair Cell Regeneration in Birds.- Hair Cell Regeneration: Mechanisms Guiding Cellular Proliferation and Differentiation.- Protection and Repair of Inner Ear Sensory Cells.- Gene Arrays, Cell Lines, Stem Cells, and Sensory Regeneration in Mammalian Ears.
