Kinetic Membrane Model of Outer Hair Cells I: Motile Elements with Two Conformational States
Kuni H. Iwasa
The effectiveness of outer hair cells (OHCs) in amplifying the motion of the organ of Corti, and thereby contributing to the sensitivity of mammalian hearing, depends on the mechan…

The outer hair cell of the organ of Corti possesses a voltage-dependent motile frequency response: evidence for the frequency-dependent compliance of prestin
Joseph Santos-Sacchi, Kuni Iwasa, Winston Tan
The outer hair cell (OHC) of the organ of Corti underlies a mechanically based process that enhances hearing, termed cochlear amplification. The cell possesses a unique motor prote…
