Cisplatin at sub-lethal doses—hair cells survive, but at what cost? 🤔 Turns out, it triggers permanent changes in mitochondrial morphology and dynamics. Stop by Elayna’s poster SU146 and scan the QR codes to watch mitochondrial dynamics - the movies are 🤯 #ARO2026 #AROMWM2026

Check out our latest preprint! Using live imaging in🐟 to evaluate mechanisms of cisplatin-induced hearing loss, we show that sensory hair cell mitochondria are direct targets for cisplatin, and that cumulative metabolic activity increases hair cell vulnerability 👂💉👇
