Abstract:
Vertigo is a common symptom in the clinic and impacts life quality of patients. It is closely related to the damage of vestibular hair cells. So far, there is no available approach which can facilitate abundant regeneration of mammalian vestibular hair cells, so as to recover the impaired vestibular function. Illuminating the mechanisms underlying vestibular hair cell damage and developing potential therapeutic strategies for vestibular hair cell regeneration are of great significance for the prevention and treatment of vertigo. In this study, we summarized research advances in the damage and regeneration of mammalian vestibular hair cells.
