Mast Cells in the Auditory Periphery of Rodents.

Mast cells (MCs) are densely granulated cells of myeloid origin and are a part of immune and neuroimmune systems. MCs have been detected in the endolymphatic sac of the inner ear and are suggested to regulate allergic hydrops. However, their existence in the cochlea has never been documented.

Dataset of phytoplankton productive parameters and environmental forces in autumn in the Kara Sea.

This data article contains data on the photosynthetic activity, shares of the main algae groups in the total phytoplankton biomass and the main environmental forces in the Kara Sea. The data were collected from 17 to 29 of September, 2011 in the following different areas: the Kara Sea Shelf with and without river runoff influence, the shelf edge and continental slope. The photosynthetic activity parameters include the relative electron transport rate (rETR) values, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) and the P/rETR ratio as photosynthetic performance.
