The inner ear sensory organs possess extraordinary structural features necessary to conduct mechanosensory transduction for hearing and balance. Their structural beauty has fascinated scientists since the dawn of modern science and ensured a rigorous pursuit of the understanding of mechanotransduction. Sensory cells of the inner ear display unique structural features that underlie their mechanosensitivity and resolution, and represent perhaps the most distinctive form of a type of cellular polarity, known as planar cell polarity (PCP). Until recently, however, it was not known how the precise PCP of the inner ear sensory organs was achieved during development. Here, we review the PCP of the inner ear and recent advances in the quest for an understanding of its formation.
