We found C1QL1 expression in the cochlear tissue of adult mice, but not in neonatal or developing mice, indicating that the protein is not involved with the development of any aspect of the auditory system. This developmental regulation is surprising as both C1QL1 and the related C1QL3 have synaptogenic functions.
First-Generation College Students and More Highlights From Meet the Researcher
Each year Hearing Health Foundation’s (HHF) Emerging Research Grants (ERG) program funds innovative hearing and balance projects from promising early-career scientists. A program created by Collette Ramsey Baker, in 1958 when HHF was founded, ERG continues to be a cornerstone of our mission. We eagerly look forward to applications from potential grantees, due this year on Feb. 10, 2020, and publicizing their projects and careers.
