Proteins associated with hearing loss

Super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) show critical proteins in human hair cells associated with age-related hearing loss. (Left) LMO7 protein in the plate (green) that anchors the hair tuft to the cell (cilia). (Right) TRIOBP (green and yellow) is another essential protein expressed in the cilia.

Genes associated with hearing loss visualised in new study

Researchers from Uppsala University have been able to document and visualise hearing loss-associated genes in the human inner ear, in a unique collaboration study between otosurgeons and geneticists. The findings illustrate that discrete subcellular structures in the human organ of hearing, the cochlea, are involved in the variation of risk of age-related hearing loss in the population.
