Hair Cells – Beyond the Transducer
Journal of Membrane Biology, 2006This review considers the "tween twixt and twain" of hair cell physiology, specifically the signaling elements and membrane conductances which underpin forward and reverse transduction at the input stage of hair cell function and neurotransmitter release at the output stage. Other sections of this review series outline the advances which have been made

A study of the medullary cells of the hair
Experimental Cell Research, 1953Abstract 1. 1. Medullary cells of white rabbit hair were isolated by a modified method of Lloyd and Marriott. 2. 2. Microscopic examination of isolated medullary cells shows that they are made up of both large and small granules. Medullary cells appear isotropic under the polarizing microscope.

Mechanoelectrical transduction by hair cells
Trends in Neurosciences, 1992Hair cells of the inner ear are one of nature's great success stories, appearing early in vertebrate evolution and having a similar form in all vertebrate classes. They are specialized columnar epithelial cells, with an array of modified microvilli or stereocilia on their apical surface, interconnected by a series of linkages.

The hair cell's transduction channel
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002The elusive transduction channel is the key player in mechanical transduction by the sensory hair cells of the inner ear. Multiple factors have thwarted molecular identification of this channel, including the lack of a definitive pharmacological signature, the paucity of hair cells, and the uniqueness of their transduction mechanism. At present, we are

Hair Cells in Mammalian Utricles
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1998Two morphological classes of mechanosensory cells have been described in the vestibular organs of mammals, birds, and reptiles: type I and type II hair cells. Type II hair cells resemble hair cells in other organs in that they receive bouton terminals from primary afferent neurons.

The sensory hair cells of the inner ear are responsible for converting balance and hearing stimuli into electrical signals. Until recently, all previous studies of hair cell physiology had been performed on tissue obtained from non-mammals and rodents.

The aging vestibular hair cell
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1983The ultrastructure of aging vestibular hair cells of the guinea pig can be abnormal even though they appear morphologically normal by light microscopy. In only a few of the hair cells studied did nonspecific changes occur. In general, the age-related changes involved specific structures in the hair cells: aggregations of lipofuscin pigments ...

Adaptation in auditory hair cells
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003The narrow stimulus limits of hair cell transduction, equivalent to a total excursion of about 100nm at the tip of the hair bundle, demand tight regulation of the mechanical input to ensure that the mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channels operate in their linear range.

Cytodifferentiation of cochlear hair cells
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1983Cytodifferentiation of a limited number of cochlear hair cells in the mouse starts on the 14th gestational day. One day later, the number of identified hair cells increases considerably. Cytodifferentiation apparently occurs in a gradient from the hair cell surface to the base.
