Lipid bilayer mediates ion-channel cooperativity in a model of hair-cell mechanotransduction
Francesco Gianoli, Thomas Risler, Andrei S. Kozlov
Mechanoelectrical transduction in the inner ear is a biophysical process underlying the senses of hearing and balance. The key players involved in this process are mechanosensitive…
Damping Properties of the Hair Bundle
Johannes Baumgart, Andrei S. Kozlov, Thomas Risler +1
The viscous liquid surrounding a hair bundle dissipates energy and dampens oscillations, which poses a fundamental physical challenge to the high sensitivity and sharp frequency se…
Relative stereociliary motion in a hair bundle opposes amplification at distortion frequencies
Andrei S. Kozlov, Thomas Risler, Armin J. Hinterwirth +1
Direct gating of mechanoelectrical-transduction channels by mechanical force is a basic feature of hair cells that assures fast transduction and underpins the mechanical amplificat…
Forces between clustered stereocilia minimize friction in the ear on a subnanometre scale
Andrei S. Kozlov, Johannes Baumgart, Thomas Risler +2
The detection of sound begins when energy derived from acoustic stimuli deflects the hair bundles atop hair cells. As hair bundles move, the viscous friction between stereocilia an…
Coherent motion of stereocilia assures the concerted gating of hair-cell transduction channels
Andrei S. Kozlov, Thomas Risler, A. J. Hudspeth
The hair cell's mechanoreceptive organelle, the hair bundle, is highly sensitive because its transduction channels open over a very narrow range of displacements. The synchronous g…
