Microvilli (stereocilia) projecting from the apex of hair cells in the inner ear are actively motile structures that feed energy into the vibration of the inner ear and enhance sensitivity to sound. The biophysical mechanism underlying the hair bundle motor is unknown. In this study. we examined a membrane flexoelectric origin for active movements in stereocilia and conclude that it i... https://www.roneverhart.com/Aftermath-Cabernet-Sauvignon-Napa-Valley-2017/
