Carbon nanotubes: biocompatibility of immobilized aligned carbon nanotubes (small 8/2011)David A X Nayagam
The Bionic Ear Institute, 384 388 Albert Street, East Melbourne, 3002, Australia
Small 7:981. 2011..Collectively, these results suggest that immobilized nanotube structures should be considered for further investigation as bionic components...
Aminoglycoside-induced degeneration of adult spiral ganglion neurons involves differential modulation of tyrosine kinase B and p75 neurotrophin receptor signalingJustin Tan
Department of Otolaryngology, 32 Gisborne St, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002, Australia
Am J Pathol 169:528-43. 2006..Together, these data suggest that an antagonistic interplay of p75NTR and TrkB receptor signaling, possibly modulated by selective BDNF processing, mediates SGN death in vivo...
Cochlear implants stimulate activity-dependent CREB pathway in the deaf auditory cortex: implications for molecular plasticity induced by neural prosthetic devicesJustin Tan
The Bionic Ear Institute, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002, Australia
Cereb Cortex 18:1799-813. 2008..These findings provide insights into adaptive, molecular mechanisms recruited by the brain upon functional electrical stimulation by neural prosthetic devices...
The p75 neurotrophin receptor protects primary auditory neurons against acoustic trauma in miceJustin Tan
The Bionic Ear Institute, 384 388 Albert St, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002, Australia
Hear Res 268:46-59. 2010..Therefore, our data do not support a role of p75NTR as a death inducer in PANs but show its crucial role in protecting PANs...
Biocompatibility of immobilized aligned carbon nanotubesDavid A X Nayagam
The Bionic Ear Institute, 384 388 Albert Street, East Melbourne, 3002, Australia
Small 7:1035-42. 2011..Collectively, these results suggest that immobilized nanotube structures should be considered for further investigation as bionic components...
Nanoporous peptide particles for encapsulating and releasing neurotrophic factors in an animal model of neurodegenerationJustin Tan
Bionics Institute, East Melbourne, Victoria 3002, Australia
Adv Mater 24:3362-6. 2012..Animal experiments demonstrate the released BDNF can efficiently rescue the auditory neurons (as indicated by the arrows) in the cochlea of guinea pigs with sensorineural hearing loss...
Thyroxine treatments do not correct inner ear defects in tmprss1 mutant miceSyazana Hanifa
The Bionic Ear Institute, University of Melbourne, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Neuroreport 21:897-901. 2010..Both the treatments could not ameliorate hearing loss or correct deformities in the tectorial membrane of these mutant mice, suggesting that a deficiency in tmprss1 affects thyroxine responsiveness in the inner ear in vivo...
Lack of Bdnf and TrkB signalling in the postnatal cochlea leads to a spatial reshaping of innervation along the tonotopic axis and hearing lossThomas Schimmang
Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg, University of Hamburg, Falkenreid, Hamburg, Germany
Development 130:4741-50. 2003..Our results indicate a substantial potential for re-innervation processes in the mature cochlea, which may also be of relevance for treatment of hearing loss in humans...
BDNF mRNA expression and protein localization are changed in age-related hearing lossLukas Ruttiger
Molecular Neurobiology, Tübingen Hearing Research Center, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Tubingen, Tubingen, Germany
Neurobiol Aging 28:586-601. 2007..Our results suggest that reduced BDNF protein levels in auditory nerves over age may be a crucial factor in the altered brainstem plasticity observed during presbycusis...
Midazolam reverses salicylate-induced changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and arg3.1 expression: implications for tinnitus perception and auditory plasticityRama Panford-Walsh
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Universitat Tubingen, Tubingen, Germany
Mol Pharmacol 74:595-604. 2008..1 and BDNF as markers for activity changes in the auditory system and suggest a role of GABAergic inhibition of cochlear neurons in the modulation of Arg3.1 plasticity changes in the auditory cortex and tinnitus perception...
Herpes simplex virus type 1-mediated transfer of neurotrophin-3 stimulates survival of chicken auditory sensory neuronsEstela Carnicero
, Universidad de Valladolid y Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, , , Facultad de Medicina, 47005 Valladolid, Spain
Neurosci Lett 321:149-52. 2002..Therefore, this vector may present a unique entry point to develop therapies preventing or treating hearing impairment caused by the degeneration of auditory neurons...
