Abstract Details

2015, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Biology.
Mechanotransduction is involved in many physiological functions such as touch, hearing, and pain. A variety of tissues and organs have been shown to be mechanosensitive, from skin, muscle and bone – to the delicate structures of the inner ear. The mechanotransduction process is initiated by opening mechanosensitive channels located on mechanosensitive cells. The mechanotransduction process is initiated by opening mechanosensitive channels on the cells of these special tissues. I chose one family of mechanosensitive ion channel proteins - particlulary important in the functioning of the ear and possibly other organs - for preliminary identification. In this study, my goal was to determine the spatiotemporal expression of four paralogous genes in mechanosensitive tissues of the zebrafish by whole-mount in situ hybridization.
