Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane ...

In an effort to better understand how the inner ear can hear the quietest of noises, researchers from Yale University stumbled across a potential new way the human body actively manages sound waves ...

(Momi et al., PRX Life, 2025) The super-sensitive hairs that line the basilar membrane in the cochlea can work in both a localized way, and a more extended, collective way, the models suggested, ...

but dwells especially on the parts played by the basilar membrane and the endolymph. Edited by. Abt. 5, Methoden sum Studium der Funktionen der einzelnen Organe des tierischen Organismus.

The process of determining what a sound is begins at a flat sheet of tissue (in the cochlea of the inner ear) called the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane detects the component frequencies ...

Figure 1. The distribution of macrophages in the basilar membrane, spiral ligament, stria vascularis, OSL, and spiral ganglion. Macrophages in the basilar membrane are distributed below in the HCs on ...

3 State Key Laboratory of Generic Manufacture Technology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lunan Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd, Linyi, China Background Basilar artery trunk aneurysms (BTAs) are rare ...

Once sound waves enter the cochlea, they become surface waves that travel along the cochlea’s hair-lined basilar membrane. “Each pure tone rings at one point along this spiral organ,” said ...

Acoustic energy from sound is transmitted to the fluids of the cochlea via vibrations of the tympanic membrane and ossicular chain in the middle ear, producing a traveling wave along the basilar ...
