Science, 1988•science.orgRecovery of hair cells was studied at various times after acoustic trauma in adult quail. An
initial loss of hair cells recovered to within 5 percent of the original number of cells. Tritium-
labeled thymidine was injected after this acoustic trauma to determine if mitosis played a
role in recovery of hair cells. Within 10 days of acoustic trauma, incorporation of [3H]
thymidine was seen over the nuclei of hair cells and supporting cells in the region of initial
hair cell loss. Thus, hair cell regeneration can occur after embryonic terminal mitosis.
