Abstract excerpt
Isolating cells from the cochlea to perform molecular biology assessment presents a challenge, because it is not possible to dissect pure cell pools by conventional methods. Thus, we set out to demonstrate that laser microdissection and pressure catapulting (LMPC) is superior to conventional manual cochlea dissection for this purpose. Spiral ganglions (SG) were isolated from neonatal rat cochleae by manual...
