Development of cochlear spiral ligament fibrocytes of the common marmoset, a nonhuman model animal
Spiral ligament fibrocytes generate potassium gradients, which hair cells require to convert mechanical sound waves into electrical palsy. Together with the stria vascularis, they regulate endolymph electrolyte homeostasis.

Endolymph Composition: Paradigm or Inevitability?
This review is focused on the unusual composition of the endolymph of the inner ear and its function in mechanoelectrical transduction. The role of K+ and Ca2+ in excitatory influx, the very low Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations of endolymph, stereocilia structure of hair cells and some proteins involved in mechanosensory signal transduction with ...

FM1-43 reveals membrane recycling in adult inner hair cells of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
Neural transmission of complex sounds demands fast and sustained rates of synaptic release from the primary cochlear receptors, the inner hair cells (IHCs). The cells therefore require efficient membrane recycling.

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is caused by chronic exposure to high-intensity sound. Although noise hazard has been extensively studied in the past decades, cochlear implants and hearing aids are only safe and clinically effective ...

Electrogenic transport and K(+) ion channel expression by the human endolymphatic sac epithelium. [PDF]
The endolymphatic sac (ES) is a cystic organ that is a part of the inner ear and is connected to the cochlea and vestibule. The ES is thought to be involved in inner ear ion homeostasis and fluid volume regulation for the maintenance of hearing and ...

In vivo genetic manipulation of inner ear connexin expression by bovine adeno-Associated viral vectors [PDF]
We have previously shown that in vitro transduction with bovine adeno-associated viral (BAAV) vectors restores connexin expression and rescues gap junction coupling in cochlear organotypic cultures from connexin-deficient mice that are models DFNB1 ...

Three-Dimensional Volumetric Measurement of Endolymphatic Hydrops in Meniere's Disease
Objective: We used volumetric three-dimensional (3D) analysis to quantitatively evaluate the extent of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the entire inner ear.

Low Endolymph Calcium Concentrations in deafwaddler2J Mice Suggest that PMCA2 Contributes to Endolymph Calcium Maintenance [PDF]
In vertebrates, transduction of sound into an electrochemical signal is carried out by hair cells that rely on calcium to perform specialized functions. The apical surfaces of hair cells are surrounded by endolymphatic fluid containing calcium at concentrations that must be maintained by active transport. The mechanism of this transport is unknown, but
