Biology and pathobiology of lipid droplets and their potential role in the protection of the organ of Corti
2015, Hearing ResearchCitation Excerpt :Confocal and electron microscopy, however, revealed that LDs exist nearly ubiquitously from bacteria to mammals, and current theories coincide in that all mammalian cells contain LDs but their size and number is cell type- and species-dependent (Ohsaki et al., 2014). For example, LDs are a well-known feature of guinea pig Hensen cells ((Hallpike, 1936; Kimura, 1975; Vinnikov and Titova, 1964) as cited by Merchan et al. (1980)). In contrast, LDs in mouse Hensen cells are usually very small, making them near undetectable by light microscopy and hard to identify in EM images because their content is not electron-dense.

2012, Hearing ResearchCitation Excerpt :This basal portion has been usually described as having a polygonal cylindrical shape (Engstrom and Wersall, 1958a, 1958b; Iurato, 1961; Slepecky, 1996) (Fig. 1), although Deiters (Deiters, 1860) and Retzius (Retzius, 1884) illustrated DCs with a basal region significantly more slender than the mid-cell region, and others like Bredberg and coworkers depicted DCs basal portion as an upside-down truncated cone, with the smaller base contacting the BM in a very narrow area next to the feet of the outer pillar cells (see Fig. 2 in (Bredberg et al., 1972)). DCs possess an unusual rope-like cytoskeletal element extending from a conical foundation contacting the BM, known as the basal cone, to the reticular lamina (Engstrom and Wersall, 1953; Kimura, 1975; Smith and Dempsey, 1957) (Fig. 1). This cytoskeletal structure consists mostly of microtubules, intermediate filaments and actin (Angelborg and Engstrom, 1972; Slepecky and Chamberlain, 1983, 1986) and is also referred to as the Deiters' stalk (Slepecky, 1996; Spicer and Schulte, 1993).

2010, Hearing ResearchCitation Excerpt :The organ of Corti, seen here in cross section, contains one row of inner hair cells (IHC) and three rows of outer hair cells (OHC) along the spiral length of the cochlea. As shown schematically in Fig. 1F, the sensory hairs (stereocilia) of the OHC have a gradation in length, with the tallest stereocilia embedded in the gelatinous tectorial membrane (TeM) which overlies the organ of Corti in the endolymphatic space (Kimura, 1975). This arrangement allows sound-evoked displacements of the organ of Corti to be converted to a lateral displacement of OHC stereocilia.
