Summary

Automatic Translation

Here, we present a method for visualizing the uptake of 3 kDa Texas Red-labeled dextran in auditory hair cells with functional mechanotransduction channels. In addition, dextrans of 3–10 kDa can be used to study endocytosis in hair and supporting cells of the organ of Corti.
