Open AccessRUNX1-BMP2 promotes vasculogenic mimicry in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma via activation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis and refers to the formation of flu...

Open AccessNorepinephrine protects against cochlear outer hair cell damage and noise-induced hearing loss via α2A-adrenergic receptor
The cochlear sympathetic system plays a key role in auditory function and susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a well-documented process in NIH...

Open AccessLysophosphatidic acid exerts protective effects on HEI-OC1 cells against cytotoxicity of cisplatin by decreasing apoptosis, excessive autophagy, and accumulation of ROS
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an active phospholipid signaling molecule that binds to six specific G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6) on the cell surface and exerts a variety of biological functions, including...

Cuproptosis-related LINC02454 as a biomarker for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma based on a novel risk model and in vitro and in vivo analyses
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (LSCCs) are aggressive tumors with the second-highest morbidity rate in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Cuproptosis is a type of programmed cell death th...

Upregulation of HSP60 expression in the postnatal rat cochlea and rats with drug-induced hearing loss
Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is a highly conserved chaperone molecule that plays important roles in mediating some physiological and pathological functions. However, researchers have not yet determined whethe...

A differentially amplified motion in the ear for near-threshold sound detection
The mammalian cochlea can detect near-threshold sound signals by mechanically amplifying sub-nanometer vibrations of the basilar membrane. This study describes vibration enhancement in the hearing organ opposi...
