White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the primary role of myosin VI in the function of auditory hair cells

University of Sheffield White Rose BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership

Sound is detected by extremely sensitive sensory cells named hair cells that are located within the cochlea. Hair cells are defined by the hair-like elements (stereocilia) that project from their apical surface. Read more
