Fast adaptation of cooperative channels engendersHopf bifurcations in auditory hair cells

This paper models hair cell mechanotransduction and shows that Ca2+ binding to cooperative channels can drive Hopf bifurcations, enabling cycle-by-cycle sound amplification at high frequencies.

Crisscross multilayering of cell sheets

The paper shows that bilayering of myoblasts results from contractile active nematic organization and apical ECM secretion, leading to perpendicular cell layering.

The development of cooperative channels explains the maturation of hair cell’s mechanotransduction

This paper explains how the maturation of hair cell mechanotransduction is driven by the progressive formation of cooperative ion channel clusters.
