Overview
Deiter's cells are specialised cells found in the cochlea of the inner ear. They are responsible for sensing sound vibrations and transmitting this information to the auditory nerve. They play an essential role in hearing and are essential for normal hearing development. These cells are also being studied as potential targets for gene therapy for the treatment of hearing loss. By understanding the function of these cells, researchers can develop novel therapies that can improve the hearing of those with hearing impairments.
