FIGURE 10

Ectopic hair cells differentiate outside the sensory epithelia in the Neurod1CKO inner ear. Representative images of whole mount immunolabeling with MyosinVIIa (MyoVII, a marker of hair cells) and tubulin (neuronal fibers) show hair cells in the saccule and rows of hair cells forming the organ of Corti in the Neurod1CKO cochlea. Ectopic MyoVIIa positive cells (eHCs) are found near the saccule and the aberrant cochlear ganglion (a dotted line delineates the area). Larger magnification images show eHCs entangled with neuronal fibers, and some cells are double-labeled for tubulin and MyoVIIa. Scale bars: 100 µm (A,B); 20 μm (A’,B’).
