SPRINGERBRIEFS IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BI...

This book summarizes the emerging experimental evidence on hair-cell mechanotransduction  and
covers hair's cellular structure  biophysical properties  molecular components and functions.
Auditory hair cells convert sound-induced vibration into electrical signals. This biological
process  mechanotransduction  is what allows us to hear and communicate in our daily lives.
However  our grasp of hair-cell mechanotransduction is still far from complete. Recent advances
in molecular genetics and biophysics have helped us gain deeper insights into this process 
especially the molecular constituent and operation of the channel complex. This book provides a
cutting-edge snapshot for all readers who are interested in or studying how auditory hair cells
detect sound.
