The outer and inner hair cells of the mammalian cochlea perform different functions. In response
to changes in membrane potential, the cylindrical outer hair cell rapidly alters its length …

Hearing sensitivity in mammals is enhanced by more than 40 dB (that is, 100-fold) by mechanical
amplification thought to be generated by one class of cochlear sensory cells, the outer …

Outer hair cells (OHCs) of the mammalian cochlea actively change their cell length in
response to changes in membrane potential. This electromotility, thought to be the basis of …

To date, more than 200 microRNAs have been described in humans; however, the precise
functions of these regulatory, non-coding RNAs remains largely obscure. One cluster of …

Globally, the accelerating use of renewable energy sources, enabled by increased efficiencies
and reduced costs, and driven by the need to mitigate the effects of climate change, has …

When oxygen is abundant, quiescent cells efficiently extract energy from glucose primarily
by oxidative phosphorylation, whereas under the same conditions tumour cells consume …

Transverse momentum spectra for charged hadrons and for neutral pions in the range 1
GeV/c< p T< 5 GeV/c have been measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au+ Au …

Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions in the range 1 < p T < 10 G e V / c have been
measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in A u + A u collisions at s …

The early detection of cancers through analysis of circulating DNA could have a substantial
impact on morbidity and mortality. To achieve this goal, it is essential to determine the …

Tractography based on non-invasive diffusion imaging is central to the study of human brain
connectivity. To date, the approach has not been systematically validated in ground truth …
