Development of cochlear spiral ligament fibrocytes of the common marmoset, a nonhuman model animal

Abstract 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. Developing spiral ligament fibrocytes and generating endocochlear p...
