What are the mechanisms of ototoxicity associated with different environmental pollutants?

They are distinct from cilia and microvilli, but are closely related to microvilli. They form single "finger-like" projections that may be branched, with normal ... May 24, 2023 ... Stereocilia are miniscule hair-like protrusions on the surface of sensory cells (also called hair cells) found deep within the cochlear and ... Apr 26, 2024 ... Stereocilin is associated with hairlike structures called stereocilia, which project from specialized cells called hair cells in the inner ear. Abstract. Stereocilia are actin-based protrusions on auditory and vestibular sensory cells that are required for hearing and balance. They convert physical ... Jul 18, 2022 ... Espins are actin-bundling proteins that have a well-characterized role in stereocilia formation; loss of function mutations in Espin result in ... 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) ... Apr 13, 2017 ... Because the actin filaments in the stereocilia of hair borders still remain as compact bun- dles, albeit very disordered, there must be an addi-. 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 ... Mar 28, 2017 ... Mechanotransducer channels at the tips of sensory stereocilia of inner ear hair cells are gated by the tension of 'tip links' ... This article obtains the stereocilia movement generated by basilar membrane (BM) vibration based on the positional relationship between the various structures ...
