Tenascin-C is expressed in the organ of Corti and synaptic regions of the postnatal mouse cochlea.
Tenascin-C and Fibronectin are anti-adhesive substrates for spiral ganglion neurons.
The DSD-1 epitope is expressed at hair cell stereocilia and spiral ganglion neurites.
Tenascin-C may act as an important boundary formation molecule during neuritogenesis in the cochlea.
Tenascin-C is a promising candidate to regulate neurite growth in cochlear implants.
