Is myosin in the cochlea a basis for active motility?

J C Macartney, S D Comis, J O Pickles.   

Abstract

Recent evidence suggests that the stereocilia of cochlear hair cells contain actin filaments. The experiments reported here demonstrate the presence of myosin, suggesting that the mechanical properties of the hair cells may be actively modifiable by actin-myosin interactions as in muscle cells.
