After reaching normal morphological maturation the stria vascularis of the Shaker-2 (Sh-2)
mouse postnatally underwent a progressive degeneration, especially of the intermediate cell …

Auditory function and cochlear morphology have previously been described in the postnatal
German waltzing guinea pig, a strain with recessive deafness. In the present study, cochlear …

Using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to intermediate filaments in the cochleas of
normal and mutant mice, we were able to distinguish between different cell types of the stria …

Explants of neonatal murine stria vascularis were maintained in vitro to evaluate the process
of morphogenesis in cochlear tissue. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic …

The spiral vessel beneath the tunnel of Corti undergoes involution and loses its lumen at two
weeks after birth in Shaker-1 mice. At this stage, and until well into the second month after …

Fifteen human fetal cochleas were investigated by light microscopy and transmission
electron microscopy in order to observe the development of the stria vascularis. The earliest …

The development of the stria vascularis in the human cochlea was studied in step sections of
81 human foetal temporal bones. The stria vascularis primordium can be identified as a …

We used the electron microscope to study the evolution of the stria vascularis from a single
layer of cuboidal ectodermal cells resting on spiral ligament fibroblasts to a composite …

The postnatal maturation of intercellular junctions of marginal and basal cells of the stria
vascularis was examined in the gerbil using thin sections and freeze fracture techniques …

Cochlear potentials were recorded in black-eyed white-mutant mice (strains W/W v and Sl/Sl
d) during the first months of postnatal life. In these animals melanocytes from the neural crest …
