Degradation and modification of cochlear gap junction proteins in the early development of age-related hearing loss
Hearing loss: Disruption at the junction A decrease in the levels of connexin proteins at the junctions connecting cells in the inner-ear precedes age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in mice. Loss of hearing in the elderly is a growing problem in ageing populations. Although mutations in genes encoding...
