متن کاملCan neurosphere production help restore inner ear transduction?
T he exquisite sensitivity of the human ear to sound depends on the proper function of mechanosensory hair cells that transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical signals. Sound-induced deflections of bundles of actin-rich microvilli that protrude from the apical surface of hair cells evoke changes in the open probability of nonselective ion channels that modulate cellular excitability and syna...
متن کاملMicrobes can help explain the evolution of host altruism
The evolution of altruistic behaviour, which is costly to the donor but beneficial for the recipient, is among the most intriguing questions in evolutionary biology. Several theories have been proposed to explain it, including kin selection, group selection and reciprocity. Here we propose that microbes that manipulate their hosts to act altruistically could be favoured by selection, and may pl...
متن کاملFly Dscams Can Also Help You Find the Right Partners
The modular reiterative pattern of the fly visual system makes it an ideal model to study axon guidance and synaptogenesis. In this issue of Neuron, Tadros et al. (2016) show that Dscam2/4 promote the anchoring of dendrites to their targets.
