Article Synopsis
- The stereocilia rootlet helps keep hair cells in the ear stable and protects them from damage so we can hear properly.
- A protein called ANKRD24 forms a special ring at the rootlet, working closely with another protein, TRIOBP-5, to keep the structure strong and in the right place.
- When ANKRD24 is missing, it can lead to hearing loss and can make it harder for the ears to recover from loud noises.
