Abstract excerpt
The ultrastructure and molecular composition of the extracellular matrices that are associated with the apical surfaces of the mechanosensory epithelia in the mouse inner ear are compared. A progressive increase in molecular and structural organization is observed, with the cupula being the simplest, the otoconial membrane exhibiting an intermediate degree of complexity, and the tectorial membrane being the most...
