Overview: Summarizing the cutting-edge experimental evidence and knowledge on hair-cell mechanotransduction.Discussing different aspects of hair-cell mechanotransduction, including cellular structure, biophysic.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 gra
