This volume offers a thorough update on the development of hair cell regeneration. Academics, medical professionals, and business organizations are all very interested in this subject. Audiologists, otologists, students studying auditory and vestibular neuroscience, and industry may all be interested in hair cell regeneration as a potential treatment for hearing and balance problems in the future. Springer published a SHAR volume on this topic in 2008 under the editors Richard Salvi and Richard Fay, titled Hair Cell Regeneration, Repair, and Protection. Since then, this field has made significant advancements.This book offers a historical perspective on the subject, but it focuses on more “prospective” views of the various regeneration research facets in the hopes that the volume will inspire new projects and approaches, highlighting the gaps in our current understanding and outlining promising approaches for future research. The following essential aspects of hair cell regeneration will be covered in the book:
• Non-mammalian species, particularly zebrafish and chickens, have cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the regeneration of hair cells.
• The capacity for hair cell renewal in animals (including rats and humans) as of right now.
• Signals regulating pro-regenerative actions in supporting cells, the precursors of hair cells.
• The use of novel research methods to examine the genetic and epigenetic control of hair cell regeneration in both mammals and non-mammals.
• The use of stem cells to create novel instruments for studying how hair cell regeneration is regulated and to create cells and tissues for therapeutic transplantation.
• Research that uses gene and medication therapy to help mammals regenerate.3
