Studies from Texas A&M University Provide New Data on Biotechnology
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, January 19th, 2012
2012 JAN 19 -- New research, "Sox2 and Fgf interact with Atoh1 to promote sensory competence throughout the zebrafish inner ear," is the subject of a report. According to the authors of recent research from College Station, Texas, "Atoh1 is required for differentiation of sensory hair cells in the vertebrate inner ear. Moreover, misexpression of Atoh1 is sufficient to establish ectopic sensory epithelia, making Atoh1 a good candidate for gene therapy to restore hearing."
"However, competence to form sensory epithelia appears to be limited to discrete regions of the inner ear. To better understand the developmental factors influencing sensory-competence, we...
