Researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Max Planck Institute have discovered that human cells use mechanisms similar to those of hearing to sense their environment.
Using artificial intelligence and modeling, the team found that skin cells employ hearing-like mechanisms.
This study, published in Current Biology, integrates genetic research, hearing research, theoretical physics, and image analysis with AI.
The findings suggest that the mechanisms used in human hearing play a crucial role in the functioning and shape of human cells.
The study's findings could enhance our understanding of cellular processes and potentially improve human hearing.
