Loss of hair cells (HC), the mechanoreceptors of sensory epithelia of the inner ear, is the major cause of non-syndromic hearing disorders. These sophisticated cells are highly sensitive to several ot ... Lire la suite

Chromosome ‘linearity’ is so universal among eukaryotes that we assume it to be evolutionarily advantageous. Nonetheless, formidable challenges are presented by linear chromosome ends, as ... Lire la suite

How cells receive and interpret signals from the outside world is a key question in biology. Most signalling is thought to occur through cell surface receptors that transduce signals across the c ... Lire la suite

Much of our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie cellular functions, such as migration, differentiation and force sensing has been garnered from studying cells cultured on two-dime ... Lire la suite
