What is the role of calcium ions in the functioning of stereocilia?

Nov 3, 2021 ... ... stereocilia. Sound vibrations cause the stereocilia to sway, which leads to the hair cell sending signals to nearby neurons that relay ... Jan 21, 2021 ... Abstract. Inner ear hair cells detect sound-induced displacements and transduce these stimuli into electrical signals in a hair bundle that ... Mar 11, 2019 ... The tip links are connected to stretch-activated cation channels on the tips of the stereocilia. When a sound wave vibrates the basilar membrane ... 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 ... Oct 4, 2006 ... The staircase-shaped stereocilia bundle of the inner ear sensory hair cells detect mechanical stimuli by the activation of mechanoelectrical ... Jun 11, 2013 ... Stereocilia are bundles of bristly projections that extend from the tops of sensory cells, called hair cells, in the inner ear. Each stereocilia ... Mar 28, 2017 ... Mechanotransducer channels at the tips of sensory stereocilia of inner ear hair cells are gated by the tension of 'tip links' ... PKHD1L1 is a coat protein of hair-cell stereocilia and is required for normal hearing. Nature Comm. 10: 3801. 153. György, B., Nist-Lund, C., Pan, B., Asai ... Jul 8, 2022 ... Inside the inner ear is the cochlea, which is lined with tiny hair cells called stereocilia. The stereocilia's job is to convert sound waves ... These results suggest that regulation of stereocilia length occurs through EPS8 and that CDH23 and PCDH15 regulate stereocilia lengthening beyond their role in ...
