2. Hair cells - Glossary Entry - Genetics Home Reference
Mechanoreceptors located in the organ of Corti that are sensitive to auditory stimuli and in the vestibular apparatus that are sensitive to movement of the head. In each case the accessory sensory structures are arranged so that appropriate stimul...

3. Signals From a Hair Cell
An unusual dance recital was videotaped in David Corey 's lab at Massachusetts General Hospital recently. The star of the performance, magnified many times under a high-powered microscope, was a sound-receptor cell from the ear of a bullfrog, call...

4. Hearing—How Small Is a Hair Cell?
Diameter of hair cell: approximately 10 µm (micrometers) or one-tenth the diameter of an average human hair. (One micrometer is one millionth of a meter.)

5. Zuo: Hair cell regeneration
HC loss is a major cause of deafness in children and the aging population. However, unlike fish and chickens, humans and other mammals cannot spontaneously regenerate damaged HCs. To restore hearing in deaf children and adults, we first developed ...
