This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

Neural Response Reliability as a Marker of the Transition of Neural Codes along Auditory Pathways
Decoding sound from neural activity in mice reveals a striking shift in how the brain encodes sound: from precise but redundant timing codes in early auditory areas to efficient, synergistic rate‐based codes in the cortex. This transformation highlights a robust neural strategy for turning complex acoustic input into coherent perception across the ...

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Sonoepigenetic Modification Mechanoprimes Early Osteogenic Commitment in Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Brief 10 min bursts of high frequency (10 MHz) vibrational mechanostimulation to stem cells are shown to activate their epigenetic machinery to condition their differentiation down an osteogenic lineage within just 3 days, which is much earlier than that with other forms of mechanostimuli, and without requiring any biochemical additives. Abstract Cells
