Single-molecule force spectroscopy reveals the dynamic strength of the hair-cell tip-link connection

The conversion of auditory and vestibular stimuli into electrical signals is initiated by force transmitted to a mechanotransduction channel through the tip link, a double stranded protein filament held together by two adhesion bonds in the middle. Although thought to form a relatively static struct...
