Putting the Pieces Together: the Hair Cell Transduction Complex.

ABSTRACT: Identification of the components of the mechanosensory transduction complex in hair cells has been a major research interest for many auditory and vestibular scientists and has attracted attention from outside the field. The past two decades have witnessed a number of significant advances with emergence of compelling evidence implicating at least a dozen distinct molecular components of the transduction machinery.

The symposium brought together the latest insights from within and beyond the field to ex
