Recent insights into regeneration of auditory and vestibular hair cells.
Advances in hair cell regeneration are progressing at a rapid rate. This review will highlight and critique recent attempts to understand some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying hair cell regeneration in non-mammalian vertebrates and efforts to induce regeneration in the mammalian inner ear sensory epithelium.
