Reuniting and Endolymphatic Duct Macrophages: Quantification and Possible Roles
2025-08-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Obstruction of endolymph flow by saccular otoconia has been linked to endolymphatic hydrops and is a key pathological hypothesis for Ménière’s disease. The inner ear hosts several macrophage populations. Endolymphatic sac macrophages can phagocytose otoconia, and spiral limbus macrophages express genes for fluid shear stress sensing and bone remodelling. Since macrophages are strongly affecte...
