Abstract:
In the mammalian cochlea stereociliary bundles located on mechanosensory hair cells within the sensory epithelium are unidirectionally oriented. Development of this planar polarity is necessary for normal hearing as stereociliary bundles are only sensiti

Materials & Methods:
For co-culture Wnt7a expressing or parent RatB1a fibroblast cells were grown to confluence in MatTek dishes (Shimizu et al. 1997)
