hair cell

And the cloning of individual hair cells is only a decade away.

Unfortunately, humans only have so many hair cells and can't grow new ones like some species.

The sensitive hair cells can be damaged by noise, however.

Most sensory hearing loss is due to poor hair cell function.

The hair cells near this area best detect low frequency sounds.

It works by blocking the action of testosterone at the hair cell level.

Hair cells in fish are used to detect water movements around their bodies.

Some 30 million Americans suffer significant hearing loss, most of which is caused by damage to the hair cells.

There are two types of hair cells: inner and outer.

The brain knows a sound is louder because more hair cells are activated in an area.

He noted that in two classic studies individual hair cell neurons did not always fire at the first moment they were able to.

They are the supporting cells of the hair cell area within the cochlea.

They found extensive damage to the sensory hair cells that are responsible for hearing.

Inside the canal are tiny hair cells that detect the movement of fluid.

This energy is strong enough to move the organ of corti hair cells at that point.

The hair cells do not regrow, so most hearing loss is permanent.

Some research will focus on stem cells to see how they can be turned into hair cells.

The hair cells may be abnormal at birth, or damaged during the lifetime of an individual.

Unlike many other electrically active cells, the hair cell itself does not fire an action potential.

The hair cells therefore can not be seen and do not appear on the surface of skin.

This blew away the notion that hair cells cannot regenerate.

The Seattle team quickly came up with a likely role for the diaphanous gene in hair cells.

Delicate nerve fibers are located at the base of the hair cells.

The half-rectified wave is similar to the displacement model of the hair cells.

Through the use of these toxins, the K+ pumping hair cells cease their function.
