Abstract
⺠Otospheres are generated from the cochlear epithelia of neonatal mice. ⺠Otospheres after ex vivo expansions retained the stemness characteristics. ⺠Otospheres after ex vivo expansions differentiated into hair-cell phenotypes. ⺠The activity for self-renewal in otospheres was weakened by ex vivo expansions. ⺠Otospheres after ex vivo expansions are useful for studying hair cell regeneration.
