The article focuses on the study of stereocilia, a v-shaped battlement situated at the top of sensory cells linked to inner ear. It says that stereocilia are organelles responsible for receiving vibrations that get into the ear through electrical signals that pass through the brain and form a sound. It adds that the National Institute for Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) researchers have discovered a new protein that works with other proteins to control stereocilia length.
