Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2022 Hair loss is a common hair disorder in human population. It affects quality of life and there are ongoing attempts to find permanent treatment for this condition. But, today there is no completely safe and protective treatment for all. Hair follicle stem

Myosin and Adaptation by Hair Cells [PDF]
Neuron, 1997 Conclusive identification of the adaptation motor is not entirely academic. For example, a rational approach to identifying other members of the transduction apparatus is first to identify one component—the adaptation motor seems most likely—and then to identify interacting proteins using biochemical and molecular biological methods.

Release and elementary mechanisms of nitric oxide in hair cells
, 2010 The enzyme nitric oxide (NO) synthase, that produces the signaling molecule NO, has been identified in several cell types in the inner ear. However, it is unclear whether a measurable quantity of NO is released in the inner ear to confer specific ...

Insight into the early steps of root hair formation revealed by the procuste1 cellulose synthase mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2008 Background: formation of plant root hairs originating from epidermal cells involves selection of a polar initiation site and production of an initial hair bulge which requires local cell wall loosening. In Arabidopsis the polar initiation site is located

Activated notch causes deafness by promoting a supporting cell phenotype in developing auditory hair cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To determine whether activated Notch can promote a supporting cell fate during sensory cell differentiation in the inner ear.An activated form of the Notch1 receptor (NICD) was expressed in early differentiating hair cells using a Gfi1-Cre mouse allele ...

The role of epigenetic modifications in sensory hair cell development, survival, and regulation
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 The cochlea is the sensory organ in the periphery, and hair cells are its main sensory cells. The development and survival of hair cells are highly controlled processes.

Tuning in to cochlear hair cells
The Journal of Physiology, 2006 A major quest in hearing research over the last 35 years or so has been, and continues to be, how mammalian hearing achieves its remarkable frequency selectivity and sensitivity over a large frequency range, down from 20 Hz up to over 100 kHz in some species.

Modulation of hair cell efferents [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2011 Outer hair cells (OHCs) amplify the sound-evoked motion of the basilar membrane to enhance acoustic sensitivity and frequency selectivity. Medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferents inhibit OHCs to reduce the sound-evoked response of cochlear afferent neurons.
