The motility of the outer hair cells provides an active mechanism for cochlear amplification helping the inners in their fine frequency selectivity. Their stereocilia are filled with parallel actin filaments and dense molecular complexes at the lower and upper tip-link ends.

How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my first paper from my PhD with @WallaceUcsf, co-first-authored with @TMakushok! We discovered that gradual habituation in a cell population is due to step-like switches in single cells https://bit.ly/3GNg702

My first #toot on the woolly mammoth thing. I was rubbish at twitter, I'll probably be worse on Mastodon...but here are some neurons as a way of a premature apology :)

We’re ‘pumped’ to share new work using bioelectricity to inflate living organoids via what we call 'electro-inflation’: e-fields can program ion+water pumping!.

A thread.
Apparently the alga Mesostigma swims like 'falling leaves'...
Immediately checks YouTube...

かなりマイナーな霞ヶ浦のプランクトン。メソスティグマ(Mesostigma sp.)。陸上植物に近い系統の藻類で、ミカヅキモなどと同じストレプト植物門に属している（メソスティグマ藻綱）。オレンジ色の眼点と、細胞を取り囲む微細な鱗片が特徴。ひらひらと落葉が舞うように泳ぐよ。

I had the pleasure of providing some simulations to this wonderful paper. If you are interested in microbial motility go check it out. https://twitter.com/micromotility/status/1595508462607339531
