Generalized Helicoids for Hair Modeling
Recently, Savadjiev et al. introduced a generalized helicoid as an osculating object to characterize near parallel 3D curve patterns. This new model allows for patterns of different kinds to be examined and generated via three curvature parameters. The parameterization can be efficiently used to model hair strands. We present an investigation of the usability of the generalized helicoid model f...
متن کاملHair bundle heights in the utricle: differences between macular locations and hair cell types.
Hair bundle structure is a major determinant of bundle mechanics and thus of a hair cell's ability to encode sound and head movement stimuli. Little quantitative information about bundle structure is available for vestibular organs. Here we characterize hair bundle heights in the utricle of a turtle, Trachemys scripta. We visualized bundles from the side using confocal images of utricular slice...
متن کاملHair Cells
Hair cells are specialized sensory epithelial cells found in the inner ear (Figure1a). Inmammals, the inner ear contains the coiled cochlea as well as the vestibular apparatus, which includes two otolith organs (the utricle and the saccule) and three semicircular canals. The cochlea and the components of the vestibular apparatus are interconnected by fluid-filled tubes that are circular and con...
متن کاملGeneralized Helicoids for Modeling Hair Geometry
In computer graphics, modeling the geometry of hair and hair-like patterns such as grass and fur remains a significant challenge. Hair strands can exist in an extensive variety of arrangements and the choice of an appropriate representation for tasks such as hair synthesis, fitting, editing, or reconstruction from samples, is non-trivial. To support such applications we present a novel mathemat...
متن کاملFunctional development of mechanosensitive hair cells in stem cell-derived organoids parallels native vestibular hair cells
Inner ear sensory epithelia contain mechanosensitive hair cells that transmit information to the brain through innervation with bipolar neurons. Mammalian hair cells do not regenerate and are limited in number. Here we investigate the potential to generate mechanosensitive hair cells from mouse embryonic stem cells in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. The system faithfully recapitulates ...
