Research Abstract |
We have tried to introduce molecular biological techniques to human temporal bone pathology, such as mRNA analysis from frozen human cochlea, the immunohistological examination of paraffin embedding human inner ear and identification of local gene expression in human cochlea by lasermicrodissection. We pointed out the possibility of contribution of inner ear specific protein cochlin to presbycusis in the cochlear lateral wall.
