Abstract
⺠Supporting cells are vital to the development and function of hair cells and neurons. ⺠Supporting cells mediate hair cell survival, death, and regeneration. ⺠Supporting cells eliminate damaged or dying hair cells from the sensory epithelium. ⺠Many functions of supporting cells are similar to those reported for glial cells.
