Mechanosensation and the DEG/ENaC ion channels

Article Abstract:

Genetic studies of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans indicate that a sodium channel may be the mechanism for the production of mechanosensation. Interaction of the channel with an extracellular matrix transforms mechanical stimuli into electrochemical signals.

The micromachinery of mechanotransduction in hair cells

Article Abstract:

The mechanism of transduction at a single-hair cell is identified using the extracellular linkages and sensory adaptation process. The cloning of deafness genes and hair-bundle antigens has given number of candidates.
