Integrity and regeneration of mechanotransduction machinery regulate aminoglycoside entry and sensory cell death.

Sound perception requires functional hair cell mechanotransduction (MET) machinery, including the MET channels and tip-link proteins. Prior work showed that uptake of ototoxic aminoglycosides (AG) into hair cells requires functional MET channels. In this study, we examined whether tip-link proteins,...
