The researchers inserted the genes about a week before birth — after they could identify tissue that would become the inner ear and before the natural
development of hair cells had begun.
Atoh1, also known as Math1, makes a signalling molecule known to orchestrate
the development of hair cells in embryos.
Heller's team produced the inner - ear hair cells by exposing embryonic cells in the lab to chemical factors which steer the natural

hair cells and the inferior colliculus.

cells and regulate everything from normal
development to reproduction.
In the study, Stephen Maricich and colleagues identified a subpopulation

development of cochlear
hair cells and the inferior colliculus (IC) in the auditory pathway.

Loss
of Fgfr3 leads to excess
hair cell development in the mouse organ
of Corti.
We report here that inner ears
of Lcc / Lcc mice fail to establish a prosensory domain and neither
hair cells nor supporting
cells differentiate, resulting in a severe inner ear malformation, whereas the sensory epithelium
of Ysb / Ysb mice shows abnormal
development with disorganized and fewer
hair cells.
This current is a natural adjunct
of embryonic
development, present in all wild - type
hair cells but declining after birth with emergence
of the normal - polarity current.
Copper is required for hemoglobin production in red blood
cells, production and function
of white blood
cells, the absorption, transport and use
of iron, energy metabolism, the
development, growth and maintenance
of bone and connective tissue, the formation and maintenance
of myelin sheath (outer surface
of nerve fibers), adrenal hormone production, thyroid hormone production, muscle tone, immunity, reproduction, tissue repair, pigmentation
of hair and skin, and proper growth and
development of infants and children.
While stem
cell therapies have been used in the
development of certain cancer and heart disease treatments,
hair restoration could be the next frontier.
Not only do proteins assist in the building and repair
of the body's tissues, but also they help in the formation
of new skin
cells, the growth
of hair and repair and
development of muscle.
And because the same pigment also plays a vital role in the
development of delicate
hair cells in their ears, white Boxer dogs are more likely to be deaf.
Growth diets also provide optimal amounts
of calcium, phosphorus, copper, and essential fatty acids, «which have an important role in bone formation and maturation, cartilage maturation,
hair color, red blood
cell development, and trainability.»
Cochlear (inner ear)
development occurs normally to that point, but the blood supply to the cochlea (the stria vascularis) degenerates, so the
hair cells of the cochlea die.
If instead you only focus on CO2, you get lots
of pictures
of expensive and sometimes
hair brained tech on CNN — the «Hot air car», fuel
