The inner ear is encased in the temporal bone, deep in the hardest bone of the body, posing a challenging to investigations. The cultivation of primary hair cells is indispensable for investigating cochlear hair cells. This study aimed to discover a method for isolating and cultivating mouse hair cells.
We demonstrate the steps for isolating cochlear organs from your natural mice and asymmetrically detaching the abundant hair cells for in-vitro studies. The nature of the cultured cells, was confirmed using immunofluorescence staining. There are three primary culture method established by isolating living cells from cochlear organs, and immediately coaching them, pair to be a valuable tool for extensive research, are all three system.
This method can enhance our understanding of the biological characteristics of in-vivo cultured hair cells, and demonstrate the efficiency of cochlear hair cell cultures, establishing a solid methodological foundation for further auditory research.
