Sensory neurons use specialized apical processes to perceive external stimuli and monitor
internal body conditions. The apical apparatus can include cilia, microvilli, or both, and is …

Meniere disease (MD) is a rare disorder of the inner ear defined by sensorineural hearing
loss (SNHL) associated with episodes of vertigo and tinnitus. The phenotype is variable, and …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists in a complex meshwork of collagens, glycoproteins,
and proteoglycans, which serves a scaffolding function and provides viscoelastic properties …

Although half of hypertensive patients have hypertensive parents, known hypertension-
related human loci identified by genome-wide analysis explain only 3% of hypertension …

Key points We investigated hair‐cell regeneration in the zebrafish lateral line following the
application of the ototoxic compound copper. In early‐larval zebrafish (< 10 days post …

The transduction of acoustic information by hair cells depends upon mechanosensitive
stereociliary bundles that project from their apical surface. Mutations or absence of the …

Along with outer hair cell (OHC) somatic electromotility as the actuator of cochlear
amplification, active hair bundle motility may be a complementary mechanism in the …

Objective To determine if exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is associated with hearing loss (HL) or
vestibular dysfunction. Data Sources PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library …

In our ears, outer-hair-cell bundles (OHBs) convert sound-induced forces into receptor
currents that drive cochlear amplification, the process responsible for the micropascal-scale …

When the ear is stimulated by two tones presented at frequencies f 1 and f 2, nonlinearity in
the cochlea's vibratory response leads to the generation of distortion products (DPs), with …
