Age-dependent mechanical stress underlies unexpected vestibular differentiation and regeneration patterns

This study shows that mechanical stress influences age-related changes in vestibular hair cell differentiation and regeneration through Notch signaling.

The Fat4 intracellular domain controls turnover of Fat4/Dchs1 planar polarity membrane complexes

This study investigates how the intracellular domain of Fat4 regulates the turnover and dynamics of Fat4/Dchs1 planar polarity complexes using live imaging.

Mechano-signaling feedback underlies precise inner hair cell patterning in the organ of Corti

This study identifies a mechano-signaling feedback mechanism that drives precise inner hair cell patterning in the organ of Corti through coordinated cellular movements and adhesion.

Shear forces drive precise patterning of hair cells in the mammalian inner ear

This study shows that shear forces and local repulsion drive the formation of the checkerboard pattern of hair cells in the mammalian inner ear.
