Col11a2 Deletion Reveals the Molecular Basis for Tectorial Membrane Mechanical Anisotropy
The tectorial membrane (TM) has a significantly larger stiffness in the radial direction than other directions, a prominent mechanical anisotropy that is believed to be critical for the proper functioning of the cochlea. To determine the molecular basis of this anisotropy, we measured material prope...
