The chromatin remodelling factor Chd7 protects auditory neurons and sensory hair cells from stress-induced degeneration
To improve our understanding of the mechanisms that protect hair cells in the ear from stress-induced death, Ahmed et al delete the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) in auditory neurons and hair cells in mice. They observe sensorineural hearing loss and demonstrate that CHD7 control...
