Combinatorial Atoh1 and Gfi1 induction enhances hair cell regeneration in the adult cochlea

Abstract Mature mammalian cochlear hair cells (HCs) do not spontaneously regenerate once lost, leading to life-long hearing deficits. Attempts to induce HC regeneration in adult mammals have used over-expression of the HC-specific transcription factor Atoh1, but to date this approach has yielded low...
