New cell types and molecular features discovered in cochlea cell atlas through single-cell sequencing.

Researchers at the Pasteur Institute in France have created a comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of the mouse cochlea using single-cell sequencing, identifying nearly all cochlear cell types and discovering three previously unknown cell types. The study sheds light on the molecular basis of the tonotopic gradient of the basilar membrane's biophysical characteristics and reveals the expression of deafness genes in several cochlear cell types. The atlas will be useful for finding overlooked cochlear cells affected by particular deficits and may reveal causal sources for deafness of unknown origin.
