Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Auditory power-law activation-avalanches exhibit a fundamental computational ground-state [PDF]
, 2016 The cochlea provides a biological information-processing paradigm that we only begin to under- stand in its full complexity. Our work reveals an interacting network of strongly nonlinear dynami- cal nodes, on which even simple sound input triggers ...

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss
Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or

Modified protein expression in the tectorial membrane of the cochlea reveals roles for the striated sheet matrix [PDF]
, 2015 The tectorial membrane (TM) of the mammalian cochlea is a complex extracellular matrix which, in response to acoustic stimulation, displaces the hair bundles of outer hair cells (OHCs), thereby initiating sensory transduction and amplification.

Masculinization of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2009 Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) differ between the sexes in humans, rhesus and marmoset monkeys, and sheep. OAEs also are different in a number of special populations of humans. Those basic findings are reviewed and discussed in the context of possible prenatal-androgen effects on the auditory system.

Purinergic Signalling in the Cochlea
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 The mammalian cochlea is the sensory organ of hearing with a delicate, highly organised structure that supports unique operating mechanisms. ATP release from the secretory tissues of the cochlear lateral wall (stria vascularis) triggers numerous physiological responses by activating P2 receptors in sensory, supporting and neural tissues.
