  2. 1. Inner ear proteomics and barriers : Clinical and experimental findings

    Author : Jesper Edvardsson Rasmussen; Göran Laurell; Per Olof Eriksson; Helge Rask-Andersen; Jonas Bergquist; Måns Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vestibular schwannoma; Hearing loss; Inner ear; Proteome; Perilymph; Endolymph; Furosemide; NKCC1; Fetuin-A; Complement component factor-H realted protein 2; CFHR2; Inflammation; MRI; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Hearing is important in many aspects of life, including communication, assessing one’s surroundings, entertainment and social interaction. Hearing loss is common and according to the Global Burden of Disease Study, 5% of the global population require hearing rehabilitation (1). READ MORE

  4. 2. Applications of organ culture of the mouse inner ear

    Author : Diana Berggren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; organ culture; embryonic inner ear; intercellular junctions; aminoglycosides; statoacoustic ganglion; intermediate filaments; collagen; endolymph;

    Abstract : The embryonic mouse inner ear was used as a model with which to study ototoxicity and tissue interactions. The inner ear anlage can be explanted and cultured in vitro from about the 12th gestational day (gd), and will differentiate parallel with the inner ear developing in vivo until a time corresponding to birth (21st gd).

  5. 3. Fibroblast Contractility in vivo and in vitro : Effects of Prostaglandins and Potential Role for Inner Ear Fluid Homeostasis

    Author : Anna-Karin Hultgård Ekwall; Kristofer Rubin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Bengt Rippe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Interstitial connective tissue; fibroblasts; prostaglandins; podoplanin; endolymph resorption; Ménière’s disease.; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Fibroblasts continuously strive to organize and compact the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Recent data suggest that this cellular contractility controls interstitial fluid homeostasis in loose connective tissues (CT). READ MORE

  6. 4. Corticosteroid receptors and Na,K-ATPase in the developing mouse cochlea

    Author : Susan Erichsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : inner ear; stria vascularis; endolymph production; Na; K-ATPase; glucocorticoid receptor; mineralocorticoid receptor; knockout mouse; shaker-2; mix; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : The senses of hearing and equilibrium are highly dependent on the fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the inner ear. The characteristic intracellular-like ionic composition of endolymph fluid in relation to the surrounding perilymph creates the endocochlear potential (EP), which is a prerequisite for inner ear function.

  7. 5. Mechanisms regulating ion transport in the secretory epithelia of the inner ear : an experimental study

    Author : Charlotte Ågrup; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : inner ear; stria vascularis; endolymphatic sac; endolymph; Na ; K -ATPase; plasma membrane-bound Ca2 -ATPase; fura-2 method; immunohistochemistry; immunoblotting; guinea pig;

    Abstract : The apical portions of the cells in the sensory end organs for audition and equilibrium border a fluid called endolymph. Endolymph is the only extracellular fluid in the body which is characterized by an intracellular-like ion composition. READ MORE
