A contemporary view of mechanosensory transduction in auditory hair cells
The ability to transduce the mechanical stimuli that initiate vertebrate hearing and balance is enabled by the stereociliary tips of inner ear hair cells, where a complex protein machine serves as a nexus for mechanosensory transduction (MT). The culmination of over two decades of work has illuminated many essential components of this protein complex ...

We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable episodes of tissue swelling (angioedema), which, in most cases, occur first under the age of 18 years, and entail a significant burden of disease not only for the patients but also for their families.

Efferent control of hair cells mechanically coupled by artificial membranes
The efferent system has been proposed to play a vital function in auditory and vestibular systems, by protecting the sensory hair cells from injury and preserving signal detection sensitivity.

Cousin Syndrome Due to TBX15 Gene Variants: Three Novel Cases and Review of the Literature
Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare recognizable genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia, and craniofacial dysmorphism due to biallelic pathogenic variants in the TBX15 gene. ABSTRACT Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi‐scapular dysplasia and craniofacial ...

Phylogenetic and ecological duality in the otoliths of Sciaenidae
Abstract Teleost fishes have evolved taxon‐specific otoliths that vary greatly in size and shape and are primarily involved in hearing and balance. This study identifies the main drivers of otolith shape disparity in Sciaenidae, a clade of sound‐producing bony fishes, using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (3DGM).

S1 guideline sweat gland carcinoma
Summary The current classification of sweat gland carcinomas is based on histomorphological characteristics and distinguishes between more than 20 entities. Most patients are older, but some subtypes also affect middle‐aged and younger patients. The majority of tumors arise de novo. Sweat gland carcinomas have nonspecific clinical features.

The force-sensing GPCR LPHN2 is indispensable for normal auditory function
Summary: The conversion of force sensation into electrical signals via mechano-electrical transduction (MET) is considered the key step in auditory perception. Here, we find that the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) LPHN2/ADGRL2 is expressed at the tips
