Neurod1 regulates survival and formation of connections in mouse ear and brain.

Neurod1 suppresses hair cell differentiation in ear ganglia and regulates hair cell subtype development in the cochlea.

Conditional deletion of Atoh1 using Pax2-Cre results in viable mice without differentiated cochlear hair cells that have lost most of the organ of Corti.

The role of sensory organs and the forebrain for the development of the craniofacial shape as revealed by Foxg1-cre-mediated microRNA loss.

Dissecting the molecular basis of organ of Corti development: Where are we now?

The molecular basis of making spiral ganglion neurons and connecting them to hair cells of the organ of Corti.

A novel atoh1 "self-terminating" mouse model reveals the necessity of proper atoh1 level and duration for hair cell differentiation and viability.

Expression of neurog1 instead of atoh1 can partially rescue organ of corti cell survival.
