The ATOH1 and GF1 genes are needed to make a cochlear hair cell from a non-hair cell. Then TBX2 must be turned on or off to produce the needed inner or outer cell, respectively.

A research team from Nanjing University has used cochlear organoids to identify drugs that can promote the regeneration of hair cells. The study, published in Stem Cell Reports, also identifies a ...
