      In humans, the absence or irreversible loss of hair cells, the sensory mechanoreceptors in the cochlea, accounts for a large majority of acquired and congenital hearing disorders. In the auditory and vestibular neuroepithelia ...
    • Castillo, Karen; Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (BLACKWELL, 2007-09-03)
      Olfactory sensory neurons respond to odorants increasing Ca2+ concentrations in their chemosensory cilia. Calcium enters the cilia through cAMP-gated channels, activating Ca2+-dependent chloride or potassium channels. ...

      During regional patterning of the anterior neural plate, a medially positioned domain of cells is specified to adopt retinal identity. These eye field cells remain coherent as they undergo morphogenetic events distinct ...
    • Gordillo, Felipe; Chávez, Francisco P.; Jerez Guevara, Carlos (BLACKWELL, 2007-03-20)
      The polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degrading Pseudomonas sp. B4 was tested for its motility and ability to sense and respond to biphenyl, its chloroderivatives and chlorobenzoates in chemotaxis assays. Pseudomonas sp. ...
