Can improving vascular health protect against hearing loss and balance problems?

We previously reported that CIB2 binds to WHRN and is essential for stereocilia staircase architecture of cochlear hair cells. Here, we refine the ... Nov 3, 2021 ... ... stereocilia. Sound vibrations cause the stereocilia to sway, which leads to the hair cell sending signals to nearby neurons that relay ... The actin filament bundle, which is held together by specific crossbridges, gives rigidity and exact dimensions to each stereocilium. The cuticular plate ... Jun 20, 2019 ... We report that TRIOBP-5 is essential for thickening bundles of F-actin in rootlets, establishing their mature dimensions and for stiffening supporting cells. May 24, 2023 ... Stereocilia are vital for the transmission of sound as they house the mechanoelectrical transduction channels triggered by the bending of the ... Feb 9, 2022 ... These cells possess stereocilia connected to the tectorial membrane. ... During auditory stimulation, sound waves in the cochlea cause deflection ... Oct 1, 2023 ... The stereocilia of these cells help to adsorb any remaining fluid and pass nutrients to the stored sperm to support their viability. Other ... Jan 21, 2021 ... Abstract. Inner ear hair cells detect sound-induced displacements and transduce these stimuli into electrical signals in a hair bundle that ... a hair bundle containing stereocilia, or sensory hairs, that project upward into the tectorial membrane, which lies above the stereocilia in the cochlear duct. Apr 6, 2016 ... ... stereocilia. While functionally very different, the protein complexes that organize microvilli and stereocilia have striking parallels. Both ...
