Spontaneous calcium transients in hair cell stereocilia

Saman Hussain, Miloslav Sedlacek, Runjia Cui…·Bechara Kachar

This study detects spontaneous calcium transients in hair cell stereocilia using fluorescent sensors and microscopy, showing they originate from mechanoelectrical transduction channels and occur in multiple stereocilia regions.
