Figure 3From: Dominant negative connexin26 mutation R75W causing severe hearing loss influences normal programmed cell death in postnatal organ of CortiIllustration of GER region used for measurement of area and cell number in non-Tg (A) and R75W + (B) mice at P12. Apical turn in the cochlear were observed using microscopy. The dotted line indicates the area of the GER, and the red line indicates the 50-μm-long region in which cells were counted. IPC, inner pillar cell; OPC, outer pillar cell; IHC, inner hair cell; OHC, outer hair cell; TC, tunnel of Corti. Scale bars = 50 μm.Back to article page
