Mechano-electrical feedback.
See article by Nanthakumar et al. [6] (pages 303 –309) perimental animals. Human studies addressing MEF also in this issue. have focussed on unphysiological conditions, such as compression /decompression of the left ventricle during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery [3], transient aortic occlu
متن کاملChannel gating forces govern accuracy of mechano-electrical transduction in hair cells.
Sensory hair cells are known for the exquisite displacement sensitivity with which they detect the sound-evoked vibrations in the inner ear. In this article, we determine a stochastically imposed fundamental lower bound on a hair cell's sensitivity to detect mechanically coded information arriving at its hair bundle. Based on measurements of transducer current and its noise in outer hair cells ...
متن کاملStudies on mechano-perception in the Characeae: transduction of pressure signals into electrical signals.
Mechano-perception by Chara cells was studied with an emphasis on the role of the nodal complex in transducing pressure signals into electrical signals. Three types of experimental material were used: (1) tandem internodal cells connected by a single layer of nodal cells; (2) single internodal cells, from which either apical or basal nodes were removed by ligation and cutting; (3) single intern...
متن کاملMechano-Transduction: From Molecules to Tissues
External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults. How cells sense and respond to these mechanical stimuli requires an understanding of the biophysical principles that underlie changes in protein conformation and result in alterations in the or...
متن کاملSensory Neuron Mechanotransduction, Mechanisms and Molecules Detecting Sound: Mechano-electrical Transduction in the Ear
Somatic sensation is overwhelmingly felt as the result of mechanical stimulation or movement of the body or its parts. Indeed almost all tissues of the body receive an innervation from the peripheral axons of mechanosensitive sensory neurons with their cell body in the dorsal root or trigeminal ganglia. Remarkably, the mechanisms and molecules used by sensory neurons to transform mechanical for...
