How can research on stereocilia contribute to a better understanding of sensory transduction in general?

Apr 26, 2024 ... Stereocilin is associated with hairlike structures called stereocilia, which project from specialized cells called hair cells in the inner ear. Oct 19, 2022 ... GPSM2-GNAI(GDP), in turn, imparts asymmetry to the forming stereocilia to enable sensory function in hair cells. INTRODUCTION. Hair cells (HCs) ... Cilium (plu: cilia) is an organelle that is short and filament-like. It looks like an eyelash that protrudes from eukaryotic cells, and can be motile or non- ... This is an image of projections called stereocilia that extend from the hair cells in your inner ear. These cells move when sound waves hit your eardrum. Jan 21, 2021 ... Abstract. Inner ear hair cells detect sound-induced displacements and transduce these stimuli into electrical signals in a hair bundle that ... We previously reported that CIB2 binds to WHRN and is essential for stereocilia staircase architecture of cochlear hair cells. Here, we refine the ... Male Smpx null mice showed a progressive hearing loss starting from high frequency at the 3rd month. Hearing loss in female mice was milder and occurred later. Mar 27, 2024 ... Using scanning electron microscopy and super-resolution microscopy, we investigate stereocilia formation from hair cell specification stages in the mouse organ ... ... stereocilia in the auditory system and no kinocilium -which are ... Therefore the correct term to be used is stereocilium/ stereocilia and not Kinocilia? Jun 11, 2019 ... ... stereocilia. The stereocilia within the same hair bundle have differing lengths. They are aligned in an orderly way to form a wedge shape ...
