We identified several abundant crosslinkers and examined the developmentally regulated expression of fascin‑2 in chicken basilar papilla. Fascin‑2 mRNA and protein levels increased throughout development, especially during stereocilia elongation, and localized to distal stereocilia regions as bundles matured. Other fascin and plastin genes showed varied expression patterns. These results suggest that different crosslinkers support distinct stages of stereocilia growth and contribute to long‑term bundle stability. 000000567 540__ $$fCC BY 000000567 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000567 650__ $$aCytoskeleton$$017362 000000567 650__ $$aCarrier Proteins$$016184 000000567 650__ $$aStereocilia$$039594 000000567 650__ $$aChickens$$016459 000000567 650__ $$aActins$$014196 000000567 650__ $$aplastin 000000567 650__ $$afascin 000000567 650__ $$aHair Cells, Auditory, Inner$$019811 000000567 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000567 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000000567 7001_ $$aSaylor, Katherine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000567 7201_ $$aGillespie, Peter$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000567 8564_ $$91dc7b5bc-ad56-426c-9cf4-e904f230e8b8$$s1121444$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/567/files/568_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$23f8800990f5aa582ff076a091f971529$$31 000000567 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
