A schematic drawing portrays the sensory epithelium expanding in an elastic matrix. The force opposing utricle growth creates a gradient of cellular density, with higher values at the center of the organ and lower ones in the periphery. A high density triggers the cytoplasmic localization and degradation of Yap, whose consequent depletion from nuclei results in cell-cycle arrest.
