Abstract
Bone remodeling is highly inhibited around the labyrinthine space, most likely by the action of the anti-resorptive cytokine osteoprotegerin (OPG). Inner ear OPG may enter the bony otic capsule through the lacuno-canalicular porosity (LCP). The aim of the study was to investigate the patency of this extracellular signaling pathway by exploring the viability, age dependency and spatial distribution of capsular osteocytes.
