Abstract:
Mature mammals are uniquely vulnerable to permanent auditory and vestibular deficits because the cell proliferation that produces replacement hair cells in other vertebrates is limited in mammals

Keywords:
hair cell; regeneration; lysophosphatidic acid; LPA; vestibular; wound healing; cytoskeleton

Materials & Methods:
Embryonic utricles were adhered with the nerve side down on poly-L-lysine-coated glass-bottom dishes (Mat- Tek Ashland MA).

Microscopic Technique
Time Lapse Microscopy

Cell Type(s)
Embryonic utricles
