Springer Handbook of Auditory Research75- Hair Cell Regeneration

The book will include thefollowing key features of hair cell regeneration: • Cellular and molecular control hair cell regeneration in non-mammalian species (in particular zebrafish and chickens) • Our current understanding of the capacity for hair cell replacement in mammals (rodents and humans). This volume provides a detailed update on progress in the field of hair cell regeneration with emphasis on more "prospective" views of the various facets of regeneration research.
