Open AccessActivation of miR-34a impairs autophagic flux and promotes cochlear cell death via repressing ATG9A: implications for age-related hearing loss
Age-related hearing loss is a major unresolved public health problem. We have previously elucidated that the activation of cochlear miR-34a is correlated with age-related hearing loss in C57BL/6 mice. A growin...
