Johnson, S.L., Forge, A., Knipper, M., Münkner, S., Marcotti, W.
The mammalian cochlea is specialized to recognize and process complex auditory signals with remarkable acuity and temporal precision over a wide frequency range. The quality of the information...
Shao, D., Forge, A., Munro, P.M.G., Bailly, M.
The classical Arp2/3-mediated dendritic network defines the cytoskeleton at the leading edge of crawling cells, and it is generally assumed that Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization generates the...
Molecular and functional characterization of gap junctions in the avian inner ear (2006)
Nickel, R., Becker, D., Forge, A.
To analyze the fundamental role of gap junctions in the vertebrate inner ear, we examined molecular and functional characteristics of gap junctional communication (GJC) in the auditory and vestibular...
Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea (2006)
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a major role in cochlear function. Recent evidence suggests that connexin 26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the major constituent proteins of cochlear gap...

The evolutionarily conserved planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway (or noncanonical Wnt pathway) drives several important cellular processes, including epithelial cell polarization, cell migration and...

Hair cell regeneration in sensory epithelia from the inner ear of a urodele amphibian (2005)
The capacity of urodele amphibians to regenerate a variety of body parts is providing insight into mechanisms of tissue regeneration in vertebrates. In this study the ability of the newt,...
Opioid modulation of GABA release in the rat inferior colliculus (2004)
Tongjaroenbungam, W., Jongkamonwiwat, N., Cunningham, J., Phansuwan-Pujito, P., Dodson, H.C., Forge, A., ...
Background: The inferior colliculus, which receives almost all ascending and descending auditory signals, plays a crucial role in the processing of auditory information. While the majority of the...
Forge, A., Becker, D., Casalotti, S., Edwards, J., Marziano, N., Nevill, G.
The distribution and size of gap junctions (GJ) in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear have been examined in a reptile (gecko), birds (chicken and owl), and mammals (mouse, guinea pig, gerbil, and...
Marziano, N.K., Casalotti, S.O., Portelli, A.E., Becker, D.L., Forge, A.
Mutations in the gene (GJB2) encoding connexin 26 (cx26) have been linked to sensorineural hearing loss either alone or as part of a syndrome. Here we compare the properties of four cx26 mutants...
Massless monopoles via confining phase superpotentials (1996)
Elitzur, Shmuel, Forge, A, Giveon, Amit, Intriligator, K, Rabinovici, Eliezer
We discuss how the structure of massless monopoles in supersymmetric theories with a Coulomb phase can be obtained from effective superpotentials for a phase with a confined photon. To illustrate the...
Summary of results in N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories (1995)
Elitzur, Shmuel, Forge, A, Giveon, Amit, Rabinovici, Eliezer
We summarize some results in 4d, N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories: the exact effective superpotentials, the vacuum structure, and the exact effective Abelian couplings for arbitrary bare...
A surface-pellicle-forming strain of A. xylinum was examined by electron microscopy. Both thin-sections and freeze-etch replicas showed the ultrastructure of the cells to be typically Gram-negative,...
Washing A. xylinum whole cells in 0.01 m phosphate-0.003 m citrate, pH 6.2, leads to the release of particulate fractions which retain the ability to synthesize cellulose microfibrils from glucose...
Electron Microscopy of a Non-pellicle-forming Strain of Acetobacter xylinum (1977)
A non-pellicle-forming culture of Acetobacter xylinum, isolated from a pellicle-forming culture by repeated transfer of the latter through agitated medium, has been examined. The cells of the...
