Diagram illustrating two different modes of avian hair cell regeneration. After a traumatic injury to avian sensory epithelium, supporting cells can replace the dead hair cells either by directly transdifferentiating into hair cells (bottom left), or by re-entering the cell cycle and undergoing asymmetric differentiation, where one daughter cell trans-differentiates into a hair cell and the other remains as a supporting cell.
