In the Right Place at the Right Time: Is TMC1/2 the Transduction Channel for Hearing?
Recent papers suggest that TMC1 and TMC2 constitute the ion channels mediating hearing and balance. Kurima et al. (2015) now show these proteins are expressed in the right place and at the right time, bringing us closer to definitive identification.
