A Hidden Reason Inner Ear Cells Die – And What It Means for Preventing Hearing Loss BETHESDA, MD – Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty molecules across cell membranes. When this newly discovered…

The algorithm successfully detects stereocilia bundles in 2D across successive frames, assigning unique IDs to each detected object within the 2D plane (left). The variation in IDs across frames reflects the independent detection process in each 2D frame. Subsequently, a multi-object assignment algorithm (middle) intervenes to reconcile these IDs, effectively re-assigning them to maintain consistency across frames. This step is crucial for reconstructing accurate 3D objects (right), ensuring that each bundle retains a consistent ID throughout all frames.

Taperin bundles F-#actin at #stereocilia pivot-points enabling optimal lifelong mechanosensitivity. New study from Inna A. Belyantseva, Chang Liu, Gregory Frolenkov, Thomas Friedman (NIH), Bo Zhao (Indiana University) and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Organelles #Neuroscience

Belyantseva and Liu et al. report that taperin encircles and stabilizes F-#actin at auditory hair cell #stereocilia bases and bundles F-actin. Taperin deficiency causes stereocilia disassembly, rootlet breakage at pivots, and other abnormalities culminating in deafness. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Will probably be reaching out to a few people on here for advice on immuno-labeling of #stereocilia for TEM

It's happening again...

Got some free download codes of my last three albums up for grabs. Take one of the codes and head to the link in bio to redeem. Sign up to the mailing list to be the first to hear about my next release.

Action shot from last night in Amsterdam.

Currently on train 5 of 6 to Esslingen tonight to play Komma's Winter Fest. I'm headlining the second stage at 9:45 tonight. A cracking line up, don't miss it if you can battle the snow to Esslingen!

I've also had a restock delivery from Drone Rock Records of my latest album 'Crystalline' which is now back on bandcamp.

My first album, 'Murmurations' came out 10 years ago today!

'Murmurations' is long sold out but I've changed it to free/pay what you like on bandcamp
