2014, Biophysical JournalCitation Excerpt :The distance between the tips of the outer hair cell and the DCpp (s) was 20 μm. It has been reported that the DCpp has stiffness in transverse flexion between 0.02 and 0.44 mN/m (20). The stiffness in transverse flexion of DCpp in the present model was 0.01 and 0.45 mN/m in the apex and base model, respectively.

2008, Journal of OtologyCitation Excerpt :Studies on Hensen’s cells and Deiters’ cells have been mainly focused on their structure, ion metabolism, electric physiology properties, relation to the NO/cGMP pathway, contribution to the cochlear function and their relationship with hair cells. Deiters’ cells consist of three parts: 1) the cell body, which forms a cup at the topic face attached to the OHC on the basilar membrane, 2) the straight phalangeal process, extending obliquely and passing two or three OHCs, free of mechanical contact, and 3) the head of the phalangeal process, forming tight junctions with the apical circumference of the OHC at the level of reticular laminar 2. There are relatively few organelles such as rough endoplasm reticule, lysosomes and mitochondria in the Deiters cell.
