Dynamic length regulation of sensory stereocilia. Manor, U. & Kachar, B. Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 19(6):502-510, 2008. Controlling Size Within Cells Plant Development and Chromatin
Dynamic length regulation of sensory stereocilia [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Stereocilia, the mechanosensory organelles of hair cells, are a distinctive class of actin-based cellular protrusions with an unparalleled ability to regulate their lengths over time. Studies on actin turnover in stereocilia, as well as the identification of several deafness-related proteins essential for proper stereocilia structure and function, provide new insights into the mechanisms and molecules involved in stereocilia length regulation and long-term maintenance. Comparisons of ongoing investigations on stereocilia with studies on other actin protrusions offer new opportunities to further understand common principles for length regulation, the diversity of its mechanisms, and how the specific needs of each cell are met.
