Article Synopsis
- The application of ouabain in gerbils leads to the death of spiral ganglion neurons, creating a useful model for studying the behavior of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the inner ear.
- ESCs were treated to induce neural characteristics and then transplanted into different locations in the inner ear at various times after injury.
- Results showed better survival and differentiation of ESCs when transplanted shortly after injury, highlighting the importance of timing for successful engraftment.
