Using genetic tools in mice, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have identified a pair of proteins that precisely control when sound-detecting cells, known as hair cells, are born in the mammalian inner ear.

The proportion of missing hair cells did not increase at the same rate as damaged hair cell bundles, suggesting that neomycin treatment, at first, might not be causing the hair cells to undergo cell death by either apoptosis or necrosis, but rather that aminoglycoside treatment damages the hair cells in a nonlethal manner at these concentrations.
