The loss of inner ear hair cells causes permanent hearing and balance deficits in humans and other mammals, but nonmammals recover after supporting cells (SCs) divide and replace hair cells. The proliferative capacity of mammalian SCs declines as exceptionally thick circumferential F-actin bands develop at their adherens junctions. We hypothesized that the reinforced junctions were limiting regenerative responses of mammalian SCs by impeding changes in cell shape and epithelial tension. Using micropipette aspiration and atomic force microscopy, we measured mechanical properties of utricles fro...

Scientists can now follow the activity of multiple neurons as a mouse sees, responds and behaves, thanks to advances in multiphoton microscopy.

Neuronal Imaging for Central Nervous Systems Drugs Sponsored by Photon etcJul 27 2018 The Biosimulation and Imaging platform for new Central Nervous System drugs (BICNSD) is a 3 year project for the validation and development of a unique service based on biosimulation and imaging using two synergistic platforms. This will boost drug development and discovery through tracking drug candidates’ actions at molecular and subcellular levels and having a greater understanding of Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases. Figure 1. Composition of a synapse The multiplex cellular fluores...
