Stick-slip motion and universal statistics of cargo transport within living cells

The paper identifies a universal stick-slip transport mechanism in cells, showing vesicle velocities follow a Gamma distribution across different environments.

Irx3/5 define the cochlear sensory domain and regulate vestibular and cochlear sensory patterning in the mammalian inner ear

This study shows that Irx3/5 genes are critical for patterning vestibular and cochlear sensory domains in the mammalian inner ear, with their deletion causing structural and cellular abnormalities in the cochlea.

Apicosome: newly identified cell-type-specific organelle in mouse cochlear and vestibular hair cells

The paper identifies a new organelle, the apicosome, specific to mouse cochlear and vestibular hair cells and describes its developmental dynamics and potential functional roles.
