Table 11: Genes with differential expression after acoustic trauma in the chicken

Some of the genes and their proteins whose activity is either increased or decreased after excessive acoustic stimulation in the basal papilla of birds, i.e. they are differentially expressed. Molecular processes involved in hair cell degeneration with subsequent recovery should be able to be identified in this way. The findings obtained from birds might then be able to be transferred to the mammalian model where they can then be studied [after: Lomax et al. 2001 [334])
