The occurrence of capillary endothelial mitoses in the mesenchyme of the scala tympani during fetal development of the guinea pig

  • Published:
Archives of oto-rhino-laryngology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Mitotic figures were found in the capillary endothelial cells of the cochleae of guinea pig fetuses, indicating a cellular proliferation. The significance of capillary sprouting in the mesenchyme beneath the basilar membrane a few days before opening of the scala tympani is discussed.
