T Iwagaki, T Suzuki, T Nakashima - Hearing research, 2000 - Elsevier
Various strains of mice have been used for hearing research, but there have been few
reports regarding the cochlear vasculature in mice. In this study, the development of the
cochlear vasculature was investigated in C57BL/6 mice from day 15 of gestation to day 15
after birth, and mature vessels were also observed in 3-month-old mice. Both India ink
injection and the resin casting method were used. On gestational day 17, spiral vessels of
the basilar membrane were developing and were elaborating communicating branches that …
