Transcriptional changes in adhesion-related genes are site-specific during noise-induced cochlear pathogenesis

Cell–cell junctions and junctions between cells and extracellular matrix are essential for maintenance of the structural and functional integrity of the cochlea, and are also a major target of acoustic trauma. While morphological assessments have revealed adhesion dysfunction in noise-traumatized co...
