Live imaging and multimodal profiling reveal transdifferentiation of a cochlear supporting cell subpopulation upon Notch inhibition.

Science advances · 2026

Single-cell profiling of the neonatal mouse cochlea finds that only a rare subpopulation of supporting cells actually retains the ability to become hair cells when Notch is inhibited.
