Generation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from individuals without auditory disorders.

We report the establishment of two human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from individuals without auditory disorders. Extensive audiometry tests were performed to confirm normal hearing. The generated iPSC lines expressed pluripotency genes and showed differentiation capability into the three germ layers. The iPSC lines will be used as controls for pathological analysis and drug screening for ear disorders.
