Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders in humans, and a large number of cases are due to ear cell damage caused by ototoxic drugs including anticancer agents, such as cisplatin. The recent literature reported that hearing loss is promoted by an excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cochlea cells, which causes oxidative stress. Recently, polysaccharides from the cyanobacterium showed many biological activities, including antioxidant activity, suggesting their potential use to combat hearing loss.

Background: Cisplatin is an effective anti-cancer drug with limited clinical applications due to ototoxicity. Resveratrol, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has been reported to mitigate these adverse effects, although the underlying mechanism remains under-researched.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of resveratrol on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Hair cell (HC) loss, frequently induced by ototoxic agents such as gentamicin, leads to irreversible hearing loss. Because of the restricted regenerative capabilities of the mammalian inner ear, the exploration of therapeutic strategies to restore damaged HCs is critically needed. Recombinant human Neuritin (rhNeuritin), a neurotrophic factor with established roles in promoting cell survival and regeneration across various systems, presents itself as a promising therapeutic candidate for HC repair.

Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is attributed to the aberrant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the inner ear. Antioxidants represented by α-lipoic acid (ALA) have been demonstrated to scavenge ROS in the cochlea, while effective delivery of these agents in vivo remains a major challenge. Here, a novel polydopamine (PDA) nanogel decorated adhesive and responsive hierarchical microcarriers for controllable is presented ALA delivery and deafness prevention.

The inner ear sensory epithelium consists of two major types of cells: hair cells (HCs) and supporting cells (SCs). Critical functions of HCs in the perception of mechanical stimulation and mechanosensory transduction have long been elucidated. SCs are indispensable components of the sensory epithelia, and they maintain the structural integrity and ionic environment of the inner ear.
